They appear to nonetheless, even without the freeing factors of a conquering alien religion or a rationally-based system. Zeus was many things throughout the history of Greece. The Goddesses changed often with the coming of patriarchal warrior tribes. (EDIT: Which would be a conquering alien religion. Drat!)

But why? Ignoring the most obvious solution of us creating the gods, why would they change to suit us?

They are a part of us and changing with us to suit our needs may be another suggestion. In the guise of an archetype, one may argue the essential inspiring symbol (or innate releasing mechanism if you're an animal behaviorist) remains while the mask changes with the times.
