Greece.
Eden's Armageddon rpg, where the Gods are part of the alliance against Leviathan, alongside Angels and Demons.
Part Time Gods, where you play new deities of various things
Scion starts you as a hero, but builds up to Demigod and God (at least 1st edition did, not sure of 2nd)
I have one called Of Gods and Heroes, but can't give you much detail as I haven't really read it in depth
Various superhero games/settings use Gods as protagonists, whether they be hero or villain
Gods of Olympus obviously
Those seem mostly to be games where you play Gods? That's different than the idea of world of mortals where the Gods move among you, as in the Illiad for instance.
In Glorantha, the gods are unable to actively intervene in the world because of the Great Compromise. However, there are several demigods active, such as Jar-Eel the Razoress and Harrek the Berserk.What about Glorantha ? RuneQuest Glorantha might be what you are looking for.
Exalted's Creation. And it doesn't change if you decide to play a mortal.Thinking of my beloved Greek legends I was trying to think of any game settings that havd the Gods as active agents in the world the way they are in those stories?

If a human reaches 30th level or a demi-human reaches 1,000,000 XP they then select a Sphere of Power. This is the type of immortal you want to become (basically Immortal Class). Then they must find a high level Immortal of that Sphere to sponsor them.I'm not sure, not really having done much with it (I was a Greyhawk kinda guy), but maybe D&D Mystara? I believe the gods were ascended mortals, and perhaps they continued to interact with the world? Some Mystara expert can enlighten me ...
Any games set there you'd recommend?
So you can win at D&D?If a human reaches 30th level or a demi-human reaches 1,000,000 XP they then select a Sphere of Power. This is the type of immortal you want to become (basically Immortal Class). Then they must find a high level Immortal of that Sphere to sponsor them.
They then craft a masterwork for this Immortal and spend a year to journey to some arduous location (typically a mountain that constitutes a difficult outdoor dungeon), present the work and if the Immortal accepts it will tell them how to become Immortal.
The path is:
Then if you wish you can advance up through the Immortal ranks (there are four) it will take you 100,000,000 XP to reach the peak of Immortal power. This is accomplished by mega plane spanning adventures.
- Gain another 600,000 XP (400,000 XP if it is the Sphere your class favours).
- Find a treasure or artefact of that Sphere
- Complete a trial of a type determined by the sphere . For the sphere of time it's journey to three future times and help your descendents rule their kingdoms and retain them in a war. For the Sphere of thought it is defeating a major Entropy beast, etc
- Create a massive monument to yourself with 80% of your followers alive when it is completed
- Complete a single near impossible task, e.g. kill all dragons in your setting (Mystara if you're using it), travel alone as a cleric, fighter and magic user in turn obtaining 12th level in each
- Journey to the mountain once more where the Immortal sponsor probably (90% chance of success) makes you immortal. If not another epic task and you can try again.
Then you have the choice of enacting a magic spell that turns you into a level 1 regular mortal PC again.
Get this second character all the way back to the peak of Immortal power and the Old Ones take notice of you. You transform into an Old One and win BECMI.
Yeah you can literally win BECMISo you can win at D&D?
I'm only half kidding when I say that Marvel Supers had Thor and Loki. But, assuming the OP meant a fantasy game and not a supers one, then I'm not sure.In Norse mythology, the Norse Gods wander around and interfere with life. They father children on mortals who become Heroes.
I'm not sure if they have been described in any games, though.
