What we call mythology was actually the theology of the old days. Noone proved Zeus, or any ancient one, doesn't exist. Other faiths came along that questioned the ancient beliefs. Then science came along and said nothing exists unless you can prove it by their measuring stick. Most the old gods are still alive and accessible, it's but a matter of learning how to create a connection to them. It's a human fault to look at the past and think they were so unknowing and gullible than we are. That's wrong.

It doesn't work like that. See, gods are needy spirit-beings who require "electric power" from worshippers' thinking about them. Prayer is just a form of concentrated thinking about things. If the "electric power" input gets too low, the gods slow down and freeze like that STAR WARS scene of Han Solo getting frozen in carbonite.
In the past Zeus got a lot of power from the worshippers in the Greek empire, and other gods too. But hundreds of years went by, people got bored, they never got to see their gods like in the old days (it took a lot of power for gods to manifest to humans although they might get it all back and more if the worshippers started fervently "praying" again).
Then, the evil god of the Hebrews, Jehovah-One, decided to finesse the Greco-Roman world by creating a variant version of the silly, rules-cluttered Jewish religion that would appeal beyond Jews. His plan, to attract new followers and thus increase his voltage to mighty levels, worked tremendously, and many power-stations that used to be devoted to the Greek gods started to devote themselves to Jehovah-One instead. All the Greek gods ended up being frozen in carbonite. In that sense only, they "no longer exist", and it is unlikely that anyone will change enough people's minds to worship them again. They are now myth-status, we tell stories about them to children, but the amperage levels in this kind of back-handed thinking is not what the gods crave.
Today, belief and prayer in Jehovah-One is waning, which often leads to brown-outs, and there are still other gods around the world. There are millions of gods in India, all developed from village religions and there are a few prominent ones. Millions of Muslims are sending "electric power" to one single location in Mecca where Allah is, but that is a particularly vulnerable power-station.

Zeus never really went away. If you look at the history of religion and how it had evolved. I hope this helps. Best Regards, M.G.S.

Oh, he exists. Make no mistake. No one has ever provided conclusive proof that he doesn't exist after thousands of years. Now THAT'S a track record!

Well I guess that since you can't prove he doesn't exist, that means he does!
It's the same lame-a ss argument that christians use...
