The Greek gods were worshiped in all ancient Greek cities.
There were many cities that Rome took over from Greece ranging from "Magna Graecia" which was southern Italy and Sicily, to cities in the mid east to cities in Greece itself. Some of them were Syracuse, Antioch, Alexandria, Corinth and the rest of the Greek cities.There were many cities that Rome took over from Greece ranging from "Magna Graecia" which was southern Italy and Sicily, to cities in the mid east to cities in Greece itself.

They were two different wars - the Persian War wass the persian Empire versus the mainland Greek cities, and the Peloponnesian War was between Greek cities. The Greeks won some, lost some in both wars.
The Greek cities sent their surplus populations out and established city-states around the Mediterranean and Black Seas. Some were sent to North Africa - eg Tripoli (Tripolis in Greek = three cities). Then Alexander the Great captured Egypt and Libya, establishing Greek cities eg Alexanddia named after himself.
Persia was determined to have a stable empire with defensible borders - picking on the Aegean Sea as the western border. Some Greek city-states in mainland Greece were the mother-cities of Greek cities in Asia Minor, within that border, and gave support to uprisings of thos cities. Persia decided to incorporate the Greek cities within its empire borders to create an ethnic frontier. The Greek cities which were to be incorporated disagreed and banded together to defend themselves.
Prtsia had incorporated the Greek city-states in Asia Minor into its empire. These cities had been established by mainland Greek cities, and when they revolted, sought help from their mother cities. Persia realised this as a source of ongoing trouble and decided that the only way to bring peace was to bring all the Greek city-states under control of Persian provincial governors and appoit local Greek tyrants to rule the cities. Some of the cities agreed, others resisted, causing the Persians to invade to enforce their policy.

To prevent Persian takeover of the Greek cities in Europe as had already happened to the Greek cities in Asia.
Cities were countries in those days. Some Greek cities under the command of the King of Mycenae attacked the city of Troy.
There were three main forms of government in ancient Greece: Monarchy, Oligarchy and Democracy. I am unable to locate how the government of the Greek cities reflected the structure of the Greek families.
