the iliad & odyssey, do they describe exactly the Gods?

[Check email please]

How are those read, is it safe if i let my brain off and absorb everything, or are those allegories and i should stay awake?

The tips and the position the Gods take and so on, are those accurate ? I.E. when i hear a God acted a way, i understand that really this God acts this exact way. I mean reading it like if reading real events happening?

From what i understood the events are not real, but the actions and positions the Gods take and so on are real, I.E. the odyssey & the iliad mimick how the Gods act. So it is safe for me to take them as work that i will use to better understand the Gods?

When i read a quote in there, should i attribute it to the God? Since many attribute Zeus a quote there .. as if he really said it.. i am refering to this one:
[Ah how shameless – the way these mortals blame the gods. From us alone they say come all their miseries yes but they themselves with their own reckless ways compound their pains beyond their proper share ]

Did Zeus really say it, or it describe exactly what Zeus would say? Both are fine, what will be different is if the author speculated, this only is fine if the author is accurate on depicting the Gods.

They are a mix of allegories and general literature, blended with Mythology. But the foundations are very powerful.
