The most well known works of Homer, the Iliad and The Odyssey were dated at 750 B.C. -725 B.C. There is evidence that Greek polytheism (Hellenismos) is yet older than that, but no one is certain exactly how old as there is not yet a fixed date.

Why did the people of Ancient Greece worship the gods and goddesses?
They probably didn't spend "so much time" when you compare them to us today and our view of how much is appropriate and the Greeks and their view. The ancient Greeks spent an appropriate amount of time (to their minds) building temples and worshipping their gods. They, after all, had a lot of gods to keep happy and had a lot of free slave labour to do the work. Keep in mind that the Greek gods really didn't care about the people as the present Judeo-Christian god is thought to do. You had to do a lot of work to get their praise and attention, and avoid their wrath. As far as the Greeks being excessive, the christian cathedrals and churches of Europe and the Americas are certainly numerous and opulent (e.g. The Vatican) and the mosques of Islamic countries and the Americas are in large numbers and just as well appointed. As far as devoting excessive time to worship, the whole economy of Christendom used to drag to a halt at least one day a week for sure and for dozens of special celebrations like Easter and Christmas every year. In Muslim countries there are calls to prayer five times a day that stop all activity - business and otherwise - and the observation of the Eids causes massive changes in lifestyle.
