Does Greek mythology allow you to defeat the Gods through hard work and dedication?

Not really, because when you succeed the god or gods in question will throw a shitfit and punish you.
A good example is Arachne.

If you go after the gods, you will be btfo 100% of the time if you don't have another god who has your back.

only 2 heroes went head on against Gods, Herakles and Diomedes
>>2274025
On the contrary.
Only people that can stand up to the gods are heroes that are born with supernatural powers through no merit of their own.

Greek mythology was their religion, not god of war. People who hated the gods were in no way looked fondly upon. Just look at the story of archne http://www.theoi.com/Heroine/Arakhne.html
