I wonder about that, it almost seems like a "short sweet trip" to them in my opinion.Gods coming down to lower realms mess with human/demihumans lives as much as humans/demihumans lives messes with Gods' existences.
After all, they went to earth out of boredom
Apollo, Freya, Ares and Soma for example don't seem to be bothered by how they influence human life and while what has happened in this episode, or rather, what was being told in this episode was beautiful, it still shows that the presence of a god completely messes up human lifetime. Him not taking or wanting to find a wife is proof of that.
At the same time, the love of a god can be endless. Hestia not finding another Bell in the next 20.000 years for example is far more unlikely than a human not finding love a second time.
And as Hephaistos put it, a God's love is that of a mother to it's child and very rarely the love between lovers. This is not really the case for their familia children, they are not children seeking attention from their mother... and sometimes, it's not even love in the first place and their are simply being forced into their "games".
I don't think it's right to mess with hundreds or thousands of lives to get that 1 child who you will fall in love with.
