Throughout the different series one thing I keep wondering is why did the gods allow their respective religions to die out. Even now days if a being showed up claiming to be Ares and demonstrated some of his powers he would get at least some worshippers. The Egyptian gods were locked away. The Norse appear and still known and perhaps worshipped in other worlds and appear to generally lack the ego to desire to be worshipped all of the time.

Then you have the Olympians particularly a few like Zeus and Apollo whose egos are so huge I would find it hard to believe they would willingly let mortals stop telling them how great they are. Khione and Kymopoleia seem to think it was possible to get mortals to start worshipping them again implying someone or something is preventing them. One could argue it is Zeus preventing them from seeking out worshippers or trying to revitalize worship of the Olympians. But what I wonder is what is stopping Zeus or Apollo?
