Greeks followed a set of rituals and beliefs which together may be referred to as the Ancient Greek religion.
While philosophies like Platoism and Stoicism also originated within the Ancient Greek religion, the ancient Greeks generally believed in the Greek Pantheon (which contains deities such as Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Apollo, Artemis, Aphrodite, Ares, Dionysus, Hephaestus, Athena, Hermes, Demeter, Hestia and Hera ).
The religion itself is believed to have originated from Mycenaean religion of Bronze Age Greece, which held Poseidon as the chief god (as opposed to Zeus of Ancient Greece).
The Ancient Greek religion later influenced much of the theology of ancient Rome.
