Want to know:
The main feature of the gods is that they are "immortal and ageless." They drink and eat nectar and ambrosia to differentiate them from mortals. They can also have divine knowledge - of the future. However, some humans can also know this - the seers/prophets. Bards, like Demodocus, can also be 'divinely' inspired by the Muses to be able to know and tell wonderful stories about the gods.

They can also see farther."
