Sacrifices and prayer were the most common means. Even in ancient Greece though, human sacrifice was abhorred. People would regularly visit the temple of their patron God or Goddess and pray and sacrifice animals.

a lot of times they would leave offerings and stuff to them lik cheese or gold or food or whatever

They did not control Greek life entirely, but were an ever present force. The gods demanded sacrifices, lest they become angry and send hardships down upon the people. They were not above manipulation people to start a war because they thought it would be fun, or backing their favorite fighters in these wars.

The gods were an ever present factor in Greek life, but were not in control. They were seen as higher beings that must be appeased, but not as masters that must be followed.
