 Apollo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Apollo, the son of Zeus and the mortal Leto.
Apollo, the eternal beardless youth himself, had the most male lovers of all the Greek gods, as could be expected from a god who was god of the palaestra, the athletic gathering place for youth, who all competed in the nude.
Marsyas lost and was flayed alive in a cave near Calaenae in Phrygia for his hubris to challenge a god.

 Apollo and the Romans
He is the god of order, justice and legality, a god of mental and moral purity, of philosophy [9], of flocks and crops [10].
The Apollo Belvedere shows Apollo as the avenging god, the god of archery who had just let fly an arrow against some foe [19]—perhaps against the wild Gallic hordes who had come to storm his temple on Delphi [20].
Yet this epitome of male beauty is also the Apollo of Veii, the god at his "most awesome and terrible" [24].

 God vs Apollo
So as you can see, there are a great deal of differences between the gods of the ancient Greeks, and the gods that we worship today.
Although I have a monotheistic god, I would imagine that if my god shared the ruling of the world with other gods, they would get along fine, and rule in harmony together, rather than war with each other.
In fact, they have very little knowledge of what is going on in the world, and even less knowledge of what the other gods are doing.
