Motifs of myth seen in reality

Lately I have been thinking about the motif of disguise in greek myth and found a similarity in the modern world.

Greek Gods would typically use disguises to stay 'under the radar' for specific purposes. They would dress as mortals in order to skew the minds of those surrounding them, as well as keep attention away from them. This can be seen with actors, actresses, and other famous individuals. This is typically because they feel they are easily recognizable to the public eye due to their fame (as a result of some special trait or quality they contain which makes them so looked up to and famous).

From this observation, I concluded that famous individuals of modern society are almost exactly like Gods and Goddesses in the sense that they are so looked up to due to their talents that go beyond that of a normal, non-famous individual. Gods contain a superior edge which is what makes them Gods in the first place, and this idea is the same for famous people. Both Gods and famous folk typically disguise themselves when entering the general public of mortals or day to day peoples for similar reasons; avoiding the attention they already so often receive.

I found the similarities between the two to be quite fascinating as celebrities take over the media nowadays. This is an example of where greek myth can be relatable to the 21st century.
