They weren't meant to be mistaken as worth.

~Poseidon

When you're a symbol of faith but you milk the offspring of a traitor.

The fire you can create leaves more burns in heart than on face.

~Hephaestus

When the yield you grow is meant for charred sacrifice to the dead, leaving the living hungry for bread.

~ Demeter

When you the concoction you create kills more lives than it alleviates pain.
