MaxineThe Gods were essentially created by the Greek scholars and writers of that period to explain the forces of nature, death, human emotions(at times),etc and were worshiped greatly by the people. Nearly everything that happened was considered an act of the Gods. Peace, child birth, happiness,etc were considered gifts of the gods; while all forms of destruction and sorrow were thought to be a result of the wrath of their gods. As a result, the ancient Greek were also often described as God fearing people.
