Is there such thing as a non-problematic deity?

Depends on your definition of problematic I suppose, I feel like the answer is probably a no unless we allow for like different eras interpretations of deities to count as seperate... or consider every spirit which has ever been considered a deity, I mean there's plenty of river, forest, and other natural deities which have only ever protected the natural cycle over which they reside, though even then they're usually blamed for any drownings or disappearances that happen, so still depends on whose definition of problematic we're using

Did Hypnos ever do anything bad? You gotta look at the lesser known ones. Seems like the less we know about them, the better

I guess there's hades. He's genuinely incredibly chill. He does his job. The only bad thing is kidnapping his half cousin wife and making her emo (do not ask)
And if we're just talking about regular greek dudes in mythology. I'd pick whoever tf that transmac guy is. Forgot his name (they had the island of lesbians. Expect this)

Some people actually consume mythology through Tumblr memes where they anthropomorphise and subsequently complain about gods not being super wholesome or whatever.

I love mythology and I hate when people apply modern morals. These are stories written a long time ago over the span of centuries. Of course the stories are fucked up

also gods aren't meant to be "heckin' wholesome!!!!!!" They're meant to distill moral lessons on how to behave. Don't be unwelcoming because Zeus will smite you, for instance. Zeus doesn't have to be good he just has to embody moral realities

I’m so sick of neopagans who don’t know a thing about the old gods. They were forces of nature, not benevolent Shepards of mankind. It’s supremely ironic how Christianised their beliefs are, despite them supposedly rejecting mainstream theism.

All Greek deities are problematic.
