The Ancient Greeks were pagans. They worshipped 12 major Gods/Goddesses and many minor ones. The most important of the 12 were the 3 brothers: Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. They were the most important. Zeus was ruler of the air/heavens, thus being the King of the Gods. Poseidon was ruler of the Seas. He had a palace beneath the ocean. Hades was ruler of the Underworld. That was where all the dead people went (despite the name, a lot of the places were pretty nice. That was where the GOOD dead people lived). He got stuck with the worst, since his brothers tricked him into taking that part. The other Gods/Goddesses were important and ruled other parts of the world. Athena was the Goddess of Wisdom, Ares was the God of War, Aphrodite was the Goddess of Love and Beauty, Artemis was the Goddess of the Hunt, and so on.
