Greek religion encompasses the collection of beliefs and rituals practiced in ancient Greece in the form of both popular public religion and cult practices. These different groups varied enough for it to be possible to speak of Greek religions or "cults" in the plural, though most of them shared similarities. Also, the Greek religion extended out of Greece and out to other islands.

Many Greek people recognized the major gods and goddesses: Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Apollo, Artemis, Aphrodite, Ares, Dionysus, Hephaestus, Athena, Hermes, Demeter, Hestia and Hera though philosophies such as Stoicism and some forms of Platonism used language that seems to posit a transcendent single deity. Different cities often worshipped the same deities, sometimes with epithets that distinguished them and specified their local nature.

The religious practices of the Greeks extended beyond mainland Greece, to the islands and coasts of Ionia in Asia Minor, to Magna Graecia (Sicily and southern Italy), and to scattered Greek colonies in the Western Mediterranean, such as Massalia (Marseille). Greek religion was tempered by Etruscan cult and belief to form much of the later Ancient Roman religion.

They really have little or no effect on the modern world. Renaissance artists sometimes portrayed them in their paintings. Today if we see a beautiful woman we may describe her as a Venus, or a man who is overly fastidious in his appearance as Narcissistic, but even these expressions are rarely used anymore. In the plant world there is the Venus flytrap and the Narcissus flower deriving their names from the old gods and goddesses.

The Romans were deeply religious. Many aspects of private and public life and state affairs were regulated by religion. The deities played a big part in this. Generally, the Romans had to appease the gods by offering them sacrifices to prevent their wrath. They also practiced augury, the divination of the omens of the gods, before taking some actions to check if they had the approval of the gods, especially Jupiter.

The gods and goddesses symbolised aspects of life and the environment, such as childbirth, the waxing and waning of the moon, the sun, the forests, the passage of time, human fertility, agricultural fertility, crops, boundaries, war, etc. There were also tutelary divinities that protected the household, women, a city, shepherds, farmers, travellers, etc. Many religious festivals and rituals were observed in honour of many gods.
