Egyptian religion focused on worshiping the Sun and the Nile, so their gods represented those aspects most often. Additionally, there were far fewer Egyptian deities and they were not really modeled after the Egyptians themselves, with many combining the features of humans and animals together.
The Greek pantheon was plentiful, and while there was plenty of sun worship among the Greeks, their chief deity was God of the Heavens, which was a way to make their chief god more important than the chief god of other peoples (who usually put the sun god at the head of their pantheon). This would allow the Greeks to easily subjugate, religiously, any other god forms (which they did in Egypt by equating Ra to Helios/Apollo, making Zeus his ruler/father). The Greeks also did not deify their rulers the way the Egyptians did.

∙ 14y agoThe main difference is that The Bible is about only one God and is practiced today, but Greek mythology had hundreds of gods and goddesses and is not commonly practiced today. Greek mythology was created to be the Greek's science for why things happened. Once they figured out how things really happened, the gods and goddesses faded away. Christianity says that God created things, too, but is a religion and has proof that the Bible is true, yet there is no proof that the greek gods and goddesses ever existed.

∙ 11y agoPretty much everything: Not only were they called different things but they served different functions and were worshipped in different ways and at different times. While there are SOME similiarities (for instance, Hermes and Thoth have some of the same functions) there are more differences than similarities.
