I don't think I really want to become like a god. But if I have to, I think I would like to become like Apollo. Not in his temper, but in his talents. For example, according to Ron Leadbetter, author of the web page http://www.pantheon.org/articles/a/apollo.html, he was the god of music, medicine, archery, colonization, poetry, dance, almost any kind of art. According to the description, it is said that he would 'heal guilty people by a ritual purification'.
One of his deeds was killing the serpent 'Python.' "It protected the sanctuary of Pytho from it's lair beside the Castalian Spring." But because the serpent was a child of Gaia, the mother of the earth (also by Ron Leadbetter) , he had to serve king Admetus for 8-9 years. His parents were Zeus and Leto. But Hera, being jealus of Leto, did not let her have birth on anywhere on earth. So she had to go on Delos, a floating island, which was not considered anywhere on earth.
