Answer:

The Greek stories show that love was mostly around passion and not of the caring love. Zeus, for example, the king of the gods made stupid things to sleep with girls; once he turned into a white bull just to carry away a woman. He even turned into rain just to enter a woman's room.

In Perseus story, that happens when the king of the island Perseus and his mother, Danae, lives wants to marry her. However, he is a cruel man and Danae refuses to marry him. The king, then, sends Perseus away from his home to face the Medusa.

In Perseus story and in Zeus example, it is clear how Greeks tend to see love: only beauty matters, and the lover can try everything to reach the loved one. Even then, the Greeks show how tragic can be a blind passion, the lover who doesn't truly care about the loved one tend to perish. In Perseus story, the hero brings back the Medusa head and saves his mother from the king, who was mad when Perseus came back from his adventure and tried to kill Danae. Of course, the passions Zeus persecuted just ended badly for the women, since he was the king of the gods.

There are other examples of caring love, personified in Homero Odyssey, for example. Odisseu took 20 years to come back home, and his wife, Penelope, waited all those years for him.

Greeks viewed heroes in a way that is different from what we view as heroes today. In the Greek myths, greeks thought that a god or goddess could be a powerful ally or a terrible foe. The Greeks believed that these beings caused everything that happened in their world. Some of the heroes in the Greek Myths were Zeus, Hera, Gray-eyed Athena, Aphrodite, Eros (who is also called Cupid), Hermes, Poseidon, and Hades.

The king of these gods, the most powerful of them all, was called Zeus. The Greeks imagined him as a tall, powerful man with long hair and a flowing beard. He was the one who judged between opposing gods, and, when he was angry, he spoke in thunder and cast lightning bolts across the sky. Hera was the wife of Zeus. But while she could be charming and kind if she was unhappy, she became bitter and spiteful. Athena and Aphrodite were two of Zeus’s daughters. Athena was the goddess of wisdom who was noble, and brave. Aphrodite was the goddess of love who was so beautiful that everyone who looked at her loved her. Eros was a rascal whose arrows caused gods and men alike to fall in love with the next person they met, no matter how much trouble it might cause. Hermes would bear the message whenever Zeus wished to send news. Poseidon was the ruler of the sea, and Hades was the grim ruler of the underworld.

The Greeks believed that many of these gods lived on a snow-capped summit called Mount Olympus, where they met from time to time in Zeus’s banquet hall to discuss the cases of men.  The Greeks also believed that the gods and goddesses sometimes came down from Mount Olympus to walk among people on earth, helping those they approved and punishing the evil. Their help might come in the form of a gift, such as powerful armor and a firm shield, or a solution to a problem. Punishment might mean turning a person into an animal to teach him a lesson or causing a storm at sea to drive a hero’s ship off its route.

All in all, some of the powerful allies could include Athena, Aphrodite, and Hermes. Some of the terrible foes could include Cupid who was the rascal. I think all of the Greeks were powerful because on page 112 it says, "Greeks also believed that the gods and goddesses sometimes came down from Mount Olympus to walk among people on earth, helping those they favored, and punishing the wicked." That means that all (or most) of the gods and goddesses were powerful and helpful, although sometimes when they got mad, they could become evil and spiteful. In conclusion, I think Greek thought that ideal heroes were people who were powerful allies or terrible foes and people that can control their surroundings with their own personal power.
