The majority of the ancient Greek people were polytheistic. This means that they believed in multiple different deities, gods and goddesses.
Greek culture is well known for its long list of gods and goddesses but the Olympian gods represented so much to the ancient Greeks.
Many of the gods and goddesses carried some human features, making their messages and area of life that they represented more real and relatable.
Greek mythology is also very famous but is different from the theology of the ancient Greeks. Greek mythology includes tales based on the origins of the Greek gods and goddesses
