Ancient Mythology theorists suggest it has been done, with the advent of the "Age of Pisces", and humans have bumper stickers to attest to it. Could it be true?

The rivalries (enacted with human and demigod pawns) in the Iliad suggest that even the Olympians didn't know they had a King and instead acted as an (infighting and infidelitous?) autonomous collective.
"You can't expect to wield supreme executive power, just 'cause you got your dad to chunder all your siblings!"
(note that a tradition of apothanatophagy has been carried over from the Olympian age into the Galilean)
