So not necessarily at deity level, but like, the concept of the deities. So Thor would be someone with a Hammer of Thunderbolts with a Thunder Strap attached, though I couldn’t tell you what levels he would have, as I actually know little about myth Thor.
Zeus would probably be a kineticist who throws lightning blasts all the time. Though I’m unsure of what his second element would be, since he’s the lightning god, and doesn’t really do air stuff, so expanding on the air element wouldn’t really work, nor would selecting any of the other elements.
Most of these deities would have to be at minimum level 6, since they are superhuman compared to real world humans, and level 6 and above is superhuman. Though they also couldn’t be too superhuman, at least for the Greek deities, because they often get outstaged in some particular skill or ability by humans, and start throwing a temper tantrum as a result, which wouldn’t be possible if they were level 20 compared to the normal human maximum of level 5.
Anyways, any ideas for builds for deities?

I wouldn't stat deities as leveled characters typically. But if you were aiming for a version of them that wasn't so all powerful like a Time of Troubles deal, I'd start where the Empyreal Lords are which has them around CR26ish. Mythic 10 at a minimum probably.

I wouldn't say that necessarily. The difference between a d20 is 19 after all. Arachne for example, having been a weaver all her life would have had Skill Focus, max ranks and a decent Wisdom or Int score depending on if she was using Craft(Weave) or Profession(Weaver). Heart of the Fields or Industrious gives her another +2. Her bonus could potentially look like +15. Masterwork Tools could give her another +2 for a 17. A trait squeezes that up to an 18. I could see a 37 potentially beating a Greek God if they are merely stated as a demigod.
