Phaeton, Midas, and Latona And The Rustics have in common all that punishment and hate from the god and goddessses towards the humans. These comes down to what we call today a "Popularity Contest". Back then, if a god was imponent and adoreded it was acceptable for these to punish the human race who were those who gave them so much power and importance to the gods.
I compare it to:
- If there is a really girl who has a curious peculiar beauty who isn't very social and a gorggeus girl who isn't very bright but has many friends which were you to pick to spend a day with?? Probably the pretty girl since because she has so many friends she must be really nice but you find out after she speaks only about herslef for 24 hours straight that at least half of her "friends" are people who just worship her beauty. And probably you realize the smart girl is an awesome person. Yet still, you will care more for the pretty girl and thus for her happiness.
Why??
Because you see something in the pretty girl that makes you want to make her happy since she is "better" than you.
And sadly, this won't ever change. Life itself is a popularity contest.
