However, only a few will have direct contact with the main characters. The rest of the time, they'll only be mentioned in reference to ancient history. And, luckily for me, the divinities mentioned in my story will ALL have strengths and weaknesses, probably somewhat similar to greek mythology (minus togas and leaf-wreath crowns).<br />A good source of ideas I would recommend is Tolkien's The Silmarillion. It has descriptions of figures and divinities and yet leaves them slightly ambiguous, to be determined by the reader.
