Sweet is right. Just add some sugar and--Oh! You mean...well...

Okay, finished! Well, we could appropriate some of the effects, maybe make some "modern" artifacts, but we still have to incorporate the idea that the gods were actually people in possession of artifacts that made them appear godly to the populous. Obviously, some Hermes artifacts should be appropriated to allow for unlocking locks, opening safes, the like.

Aphrodite artifacts, for another example, could be made to include both sexes, not just increasing female attractiveness to men, or causing men only to fall in love with the user. although Aphrodite "herself" wasn't shown to have same-sex relations, several of the other gods were shown. Zeus and Ganymede, Apollo and (some other wind god) Hyacinth, etc.
