<Snipped quote by Double Capybara>

I want to have the mortals do it themselves, but we aren't at the stage where we can do that without it taking centuries. We aren't at the point where I can set up educational institutions and start pushing them to doing it on their own in a manner that doesn't take horrific amounts of time.

EDIT: Also, Xerxes stuff isn't my thing. In three or four posts all I've done is drugged up my demigod. He's not really going to be skipping any experiments.

And that is why gods spend Freepoints and might to "inspire" mortals. 

I mean, you just can't escape godly influence in Galbar, Ilunabar is at the dreams, Teknall has his chipers, stuff like The Phantasmagoria, where a god just sends waves of inspiration across the land, happens multiple times.
