Who where the ancient Greece gods?

Answer 1

The ancient Greeks were the people of Greece and who migrated from Greece to other parts of the Mediterranean, including Cyprus, Crete, Asia Minor, Sicily, and especially Southern Italy, where they carried on Greek culture. They spoke a language that was, and is, its own branch of the Indo-European Languages. They were important in the development of politics, law, philosophy, mathematics, and a host of other intellectual pursuits. They were profoundly influential on European culture.

There were several distinct clearly important periods in ancient Greek history, the first being the Mycenaean civilization, which lasted from about 1600 to 1100 BC, and the second being classical Greece, from had its origins in about 800 BC, and its flowering from about 500 to the death of Alexander the great in 323 BC. This was followed by the Hellenistic Era, when Greek influence produced Hellenistic empires and Kingdoms in Egypt and Asia. Finally, Greece was conquered by the Romans, became the center of the East Roman Empire, and developed into the medieval Roman Empire, which we call the Byzantine Empire today.

Answer 3

Ancient Greece (Hellas as they called it) was distributed around the Mediterranean and Black Seas.

It was not a country but hundreds of independent city-states which adopted Greek (Hellenic as they called it) culture. These cities were scattered around the Coastlines and islands from Spain, southern France, southern Italy, Sicily, North Africa, Asia Minor to southern Russia (those are the present country names - they were different then).

(see map link)

When Alexander the Great captured the Persian Empire and he and his successors promoted Hellenism in those areas too, but it was mostly a veneer, and faded quickly in the outlying areas. His empire was split up amongst his generals, who made themselves into kings (Hellenistic Kingdoms) and grabbed what they could in the eastern Mediterranean and Middle East. Rome progressively absorbed them into its empire by the end of the 1st Century BCE.

Answer 4

They worshiped in many different ways and places. Many gods were honored with their own temple, though each city-state had one god that they believed was their specific god, and this god got prominence over others (Athena in Athens, for example).

Gods usually had specific places (a forest, a river, etc) and specific rituals associated with those places.

But gods were a part of everyday life, some gods claimed dominion over things like the hearth (Hestia). You could pray to the gods and ask for their blessing anywhere, you could fast or create a work of art even have sex and dedicate these things to a god.
