Answer:

The role of gods and goddesses in Greek society and in The Odyssey was to help humans that aggravate them or to harm those who achieved their friendship. These gods and goddesses interacted with humans, giving them strength, honor, wars, seducing them, imprisoning them, among other things.

Explanation:

About the interaction of gods and goddesses with humans, we have some examples in The Odyssey, two of these examples are reported below:

Gathered in assembly, the gods respond to Athena's request and decide for the return of Ulysses, who after leaving Troy had been trapped in the cave of Calypso, a sea nymph. In the assembly of the gods, Poseidon was absent. Authorized by the gods, Athena goes to Ithaca, disguised in the figure of Minds, king of the Taphios. Welcomed by Telemachus, the young son of Ulysses, the goddess of wisdom and justice raises her spirits and advises him to address the wise Nestor in the sandy Pilo, as well as Menelaus, the king of Sparta, to to get news from Ulysses. Comforted, Telemachus orders his mother, Penelope, to come down to hear the Femdom rhapsode to return to her room. He then calls the suitors to a meeting at the agora the next day to communicate their resolutions. At dusk, everyone retreats to rest.

In a new assembly, at Athena's instance, the gods decree the return of Ulysses. Hermes, the messenger god, gives Calypso the order of Zeus, urging her to let the captive go. The nymph tells Ulysses that he must build a raft and urges him, but in vain, to stay with her. Ulysses finishes the raft in four days, leaving on the fifth and seeing on the eighteenth the land of the Faces, excellent navigators. Seeing the hero, Poseidon causes a storm in which Ulysses almost dies. The leucotean goddess gives her a talisman. Ulysses undoes the raft and, thanks to Leucotea's veil and Athena's protection, swims over to the Isle of Esquia. At great cost, it reaches the mouth of a river, hides in a forest and, exhausted, falls asleep.

I can't provide examples from the Odyssey, but I have a vast knowledge of Greek mythology. Hope this helps! 

Gods and goddesses often aid the humans or hinder them. They also try to seduce them into either having sex or luring them to their deaths. They also tend to take sides in human wars often fixing the outcome.

This is hard to answer as mood and tone are two different things. Mood is the reader’s feelings you get from a passage. Tone is what the author’s attitude is within the passage to get the reader to have a certain feeling. That said, as you read it, what are you feeling?  Would or could this be one of confusion? Humor (if you understand the joke)?  If you don’t have your mood word list, you can google it. The good thing about mood is that there really isn’t a wrong answer if you can defend the way you came to that answer.
