 * 1) A blanket template for the gods is not a good idea. Full stop.
 * 2) Check Bulfinch's Mythology at the door. The writers have varied on what they use or abuse from mythology. Assuming the abilities from the real world myths are in play in any version of the DCU is unwarranted. If you want to add a power, skill, or weakness and your justification is "In myth, this god can do this", leave the item off the page. This argument has already happened with the pages for Jesus - edits to add powers based on the Bible have routinely be stripped out.
 * 3) Inferred or assumed powers do not get added to the pages. If you are assuming the character used power A to do something in a story without power A being mentioned, do not add the power. This works with point 2 above. Using your example of hearing prayer, if the topic is not touched on in story in a comic, inferring the characters have telepathy since they have to be able yo know their worshipers' prayers is not relevant to the pages here.
 * 4)  (and #1 if that wasn't a typo) - check the source. Does the reference cover all of the Greek gods? The Roman versions also? If so, then the limitation, with reference, is valid for the New Earth versions. But not for version in other continuities.
