Well, the ancient Greeks thought of gods rather differently. Their
gods were basically really powerful ageless and deathless humans, with
all their features -- especially their faults -- magnified. So selfish,
lustful, vengeful, conniving, etc., are perfectly legitimate ways
for the scriptwriters to depict them.
Also, from what I've seen of the show, "Hindu deities" will probably
just mean big giant guys with more arms than people tend to have.
