Actually, there do seem to be some people still interested. I do not remember specifics, but there was a group petitioning to have access to some of the ancient grecian ruins for the purposes of practicing their religion. I also do not know whether this was some manner of "new age" group or people continuing the old traditions of their culture, but if you want to persue a worthwhile answer to your question, finding those news articles about the petition may be a good starting point. The ancient Greek religion became dead before the middle ages as the Greeks converted to Christianity. The groups which claim to have this as their religion have no continuity with the ancient religion and have sprung up in the 20th and early 21st centuries.

A:After the Christian emperor Theodosius imposed the death penalty for the public worship of the old gods, and after later emperors even imposed the penalties for private belief, it was only a matter of time before all non-Christian religions throughout the Eastern and Western Roman Empire were extinguished.
