The Ancient Greeks believed that their gods are wise and just, but in the books 7-11, it is otherwise. The gods were not just. The gods, Athena and Apollo, proved to be favoring sides. If one is favoring or leaning one side or sector, this is not just. What is just? Just means one is guided by truth, reason, justice and fairness. Just is something done or made according to principle; equitable and proper. Other words associated to just are: equal, nondiscrimatory, nonpartisan and objective. If the gods are favoring the Trojans than the Achaians, then, this is not a just act. There is one instance that even the gods were able to forewarn Hector that fighting the Achaians will not lead to his death. The idea of not getting killed made him stronger and fearless for he believed the gods. Another instance was when Hector was fighting Ajax and Hector was hurt by the latter. Appollo immediately helped Hector to stand up. Zeus also asked the herald of both side to stopped the fight. His reason was it was nightfall but it seemed that he favored Hector. Also, there was once instance that Zeus really favored the Trojans by showering the Achaians army with lightning. Athena and Hera were favoring the Achaians but Zeus prevented them. What is wise? Wise means having the power of discerning and judging properly as to what is true or right; possessing discernment, judgment, or discretion. The gods were wise because they heed the call of Zeus that if they overruled Zeus' call to interfere, they will be punished. Zeus is the most powerful god and the other gods respected this. They did not interfere with the will of Zeus.
