What was a similarity between the religious practices of the Persian Empire and those of the Greek civilization?
Both were polytheistic - having many gods with different areas of power.
What is the Persian civilization called?
Persian Empire.
Why was an official policy of religious tolerance more crucial to the stability of the Persian Empire than it was to the Greek civilization?
The Greek world had a fairly uniform religion and set of gods. The Persian Empire, stretching from Egypt to central Asia, covered a wide variety of peoples and religions, and it was not the Persian policy to incite religious revolts when they were trying to establish a peaceful and prosperous empire.
What was one similarity between the religious practices of the Persian Empire and those of the Greek civilisation?
Multiple gods each with their sphere of influence in human affairs, in an unscientific world where unknowns were given a religious answer. Even today, when we have scientific answers people still use the god answer.
How did Zoroastrianism influence the way the Persian empire was gonverned?
It was merely a Persian religious sect which did not have a political influence. The Persian Empire was divided into 20 provinces (satrapies) with a Persian governor (satrap), overseen by the king and his council, an entirely practical approach, not a religious one.
