Back in the days of Socrates and Plato they did. Wrestling was always done in the "buff". In fact all the sports performed in the Olympics (Which originated in Greece) were performed in the nude.
During the Archaic period Greek soldiers wore pretty much what they wanted. However, during the Classical period the state organized and required- to a degree - a standard of battle dress, which included helmet, chest protection, shield, sword, etc. I am not aware of any Greek worriers who fought naked. All vital parts of the body were considered for protection to include private parts of the anatomy.
There is a reference made to Aias, son of Oileus in the Iliad, whose armies fought without armour, though this does not mean they fought without clothes.
No. Just look at a picture of any Roman soldier and you can see for yourself what he wore.

Are all gods and goddesses naked?
In order to be naked, they would first have to have bodies. When they did, they were invariably clothed, because there are stories in which they make a point of noting that the god or goddess was disrobed. You wouldn't need to make that distinction unless the figure was normally clothed. Look at it this way - the Greeks gods were just an extension of the Greeks themselves. And contrary to common belief, the Greeks didn't run around naked.
