Worship of the Greek gods was an evolution that occurred sometime during the Bronze Age. What we know as the Greek religion had its roots in the religion of the Mycenaen Greeks (think the era of the Trojan War), which had its roots in Minoan religion, which had its roots in the same place as the Egyptian religion (Heroditus notes the similarities between the Greek religion and that of early Egypt).
The Minoans worshiped gods we would recognize as Greek, so you could say that the earliest traces of Greek religion date back to 3500 BC. The Greeks continually worshiped until paganism was outlawed in the Roman Empire around the mid 4th century AD. 4,000 years isn't a bad run.
Ancient Greece: Archaic (c. 750-c. 500 BC), Classical (c. 480-323 BC), and Hellenistic (323-146 BC): it has also surfaced as a region believed by "Hellenic Polytheistic Reconstructionism (also Hellenic Reconstructionism)".
