It's a pantheon. There is a whole council of gods, with a god of gods sat on its top. Some of them deliberately stir up trouble, others try and pacify trouble. Together, their interactions bring about this glorious soup of wonder.
Dibs on Hermes!
"We had survived to turn on the History Channel
And ask our esteemed panel, Why are we alive? And here's how they replied:
You're what happens when two substances collide
And by all accounts you really should have died."
-Andrew Bird
