Althought it could on only symbolc/figurative in narritve, people wanting to take and down defy the gods is a common trope in media, Fullmetal wasn't the only one to do it. Gilgamesh from the  who wanted to defy them by gaining immortality, and the death of Enkidu, his friend. In the end however, he does accept the hierarchy of the gods. Of course, the "king" would be arrogant to call himself a god. So, the whole trope of mortals defying gods is a common theme in media.
