I'm sorry but Greek mythology is even more funnier if we think about Star Trek

I can't stop laughing thinking about this Alien race that deadass fled to Earth and started screaming "WE ARE GODS, ADORE US" improvising stupid shenanigans with their advanced technology.

A Human: How did you kill that human with a lighting?

Zeus: *profusely sweating* with my Godlike... hmh... Sword *Hides the phaser*

Human: Oh cool cool, that's pretty... neat.
