I thought the same until I watched the movie. Numerous references to the gods, various oaths taken in their name, and so forth. So, they weren't "left out." We just didn't see any direct intervention from them in the conflict. That's not to say they didn't. We just didn't "see" it, which is, of course, how a skeptic would say it all went down to begin with .. On further consideration, I like this take. It is suitably ambiguous so that the movie doesn't degenerate into a full-blown fable .. I think I would have rather seen a fable. No reason you can't have two versions of the same story. Hell, it would be fun to film them at the same time, one where you see the gods and one where you don't. Maybe "believers" have to wear special glasses to see Apollo and friends :) -- Chris Mack "Refugee, total shit. That's how I've always seen us.
