Yes, I fully agree, they represent these sorts of mythologies (it's not called "pantheon" for no reason). With a good amount of Northern mythology thrown in, obviously. But there has not been a living person "Gaia" (as far as I know they did not even bother to humanize her mother... or father... thing... deity "Chaos"). It is a personification of the Earth/life. And I very much like that concept, it is more tangible than the "moral entity" of the Abrahamic God, but it's still not people/humans. But that is pretty hard to show their "nature" in a movie or statue ("And here you see a statue of Apoll, the god of light, music, and ...." - "But there's nothing there" - "Yes, well, how do carve 'light' in stone?"), so it always comes down to people and human or animal bodies. Sure, I did not live back in the days when the old Greek and Romans still believed in these gods but I cannot imagine they really expected Zeus to be a person, bound to a human body.
I dunno either. It's mostly a gut feeling and a discontent with the "magical" notion of immortality of a physical body that I do not like. And I just think there has been a Solas and at some point he merged with Fen'harel. But the developers did well on allowing both theories and not planting any evidence whatsoever. Every piece of information can be twisted and used both ways. I simply do not like not to acknowledge just that, that it could be anything. There is no right or wrong (just yet, at least), in the end it might be something different entirely. If anything at all I think he is "something we haven't seen before". I mean, Abelas is an ancient elf, no? And he's "less" than a god, he's a slave to a god. So the gods are something different from the simple ancient elves.
The Greeks bickered long and hard about the nature of their own gods. 
Socrates even argued that the stories about the gods were misrepresenting them, trying to make them more flawed to make them more palatable, when they went too far and made them evil. (Ahem. Zeus's whole bird-rapist thing.)
The way I see elven pantheon, which is admittedly based on a lot of assumptions, because we don't have much to work with:
The Sun and the Earth come together: They are personifications of primordial forces. The Earth is mother, nurturing, creating trees and animals. The Sun is father, harsh, authoritative, jealous, burning. (Could this tie in with the elves' night vision? Just a thought.)
They have a son, Elgar'nan. Elgar'nan is not born the personification of vengeance, he adopts the mantle of God of Vengeance when he overthrows the Sun in vengeance for hurting the Earth.
Mythal is born from the ocean, mirroring one of the origin stories about Aphrodite, namely, sea-foam after Cronus castrated his father, the Sky Ouranos. (In some versions, she somehow arises from the separated...flesh. 
)
These first two gods form a couple that creates the 'family' of Creators. They are all people, they just have mantles, jobs, to do. Things their worshipers associate them with. As leaders, Mythal and Elgar'nan handle crime and punishment. However, Elgar'nan is aware that he has a temper problem, so he lets Mythal decide whether or not the person is guilty, and then he'll work out his anger issues on them.
Now that I'm thinking more on this, I think I'm for the 'Gods as People but with Superpowers', but also on the 'The Gods are more than just ancient elven Dreamers.' If that makes sense.
It's interesting how the modern version of Zeus and The Illiad and the rest includes the Justice League and the Avengers. 
Retour en haut
And that, he did. That he did. But he promises, he's gonna turn it all around this time! Promise!
While you kick their asses back to Greece, your weird allies are almost completely wiped out. So after the Byzies are dealt with, you drag your little elf buddy into another war against an independent province. You let them take the city, but only after lacing the village with plague and scorching most of the countryside, so that it'll take decades for them to grow. Meanwhile, you turn your attention to the new war front against England in Aquitaine. Once France is consolidated and you've got no other wars going on, you take the territory that the elves have finally managed to make prosperous.
