Can we scale actual mythological figures?

[Cryo123]

I know this is odd, but I have done some calculations that would power scale the actual mythological versions of Zues and Thor, along with The World Serpent's weight. I don't think power scaling these figures would be offensive, seeing as they are no longer really worshiped, but I'm just paranoid and wanted to check in first to see if getting these calculations evaluated would be allowed.

Thanks everyone!

This is the editing rules about it:

Do not create profiles for deities and other figures from religions with a significant quantity of modern day followers. This includes those described in Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam. Featuring these types of profiles is certain to upset large groups of people. In addition, even dead religions, ones with an incredibly small amount of current followers, such as the Aesir faith, and ones for which the followers are agnostic, such as Shintoism, frequently contain myths and interpretations that are radically different and contradictory to each other, which makes it near impossible to pattern coherent information into statistical profile page information. As such, we only make exceptions for mythologies that are based on specific fictional works separate from any mainstream religion, such as Journey to the West and the Shanmeh, that can provide reasonably high coherence and accuracy for our purposes, and lessen the offence to religious believers.

There used to be a lot more mythology profiles but they are deleted due to increased standard:

Not only do the profile need to be non-inflammatory, but they must now be based on a specific work of literature, rather than a composite of scattered stories which often has various contradictory interpretations and versions.

Thanks for the info!

I guess if I used a single book of Greek or Norse myths as the “universe” of origin that could work?

Could you elaborate further?

Like if for the Greek gods, I used D'Aulaires Book of Greek Myths, it would allow me to powerscale the myths as they generally are, while still applying the feats from only one source.

Perhaps? From what I may ascertain, the book is a compilation of stories written by a single author for a juvenile audience, using the mythology as inspiration. Though the D'Aulaires depiction would be considered independent.

It wouldn't qualify if you were to use a volume containing facsimiles of original Greek Texts.
