If in the end, you found that god really existed...

I am thinking some really kick-ass abrosia.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

Although I do believe Zeus was bi. There are stories of Dionysus fathering children with different females, but there are contradictory stories of who mated with who in the ancient Greek religion. For example, there is a story of him fathering the Charites (the three Graces), with Aphrodite as their mother (Aphrodite is Venus to the Romans; Dionysus is Bacchus to the Romans). But there is a conflicting story that the parents of the Charites (the three Graces) were Zeus and Eurynome. Basically, though, no one is required to believe any particular story, and they certainly cannot all be true. There are also stories of Dionysus with males. But, again, there are conflicting stories about who did what with whom, and they cannot all be true. As a general rule, the ancient Greek culture was bisexual. And it is reflected in their gods. One of the striking things about the ancient Greek religion is that there is no single authoritative source, no book to which everyone must swear allegiance. So there is a looseness about the religion, such that there isn't much that you have to accept to be okay with the ancient Greeks. They had a greater tolerance for diversity in religious matters than Christianity tends to have. Though they would still kill you for denying the existence of the gods.
