This was not a case of self-defense though. After all the Gods overthrew their family members the Titans because they tried to kill them. The difference between killing a family member and killing a random civilian, (while neither is acceptable of-course) is that you don't know a random civilian you do know a family member, you are ending the existence of someone who you should have a profound understanding with. And no the Olympians did not believe that ended with blood. Aphrodite was adopted but still considered Zeus' daughter for example and Perseus accidentally shot an arrow into the air that landed miles away and killed his estranged grandfather, The Gods had no problem with that.

Also most Gods didn't go around killing random people with the exception of Ares. Poseidon and Zeus made storms and earthquakes, while people were surely killed in those they weren't targeting the civilians, they were targeting each-other the people that would have been hurt and killed would have been side effects not the point of it. It's like in the new Superman movie where Superman and Zhod are punching each-other through buildings and what not. You know there were people in those and Superman was just causing damage as the result of the power he wielded, not specifically to hurt anyone.
