Worship is a modernistic word. The ancients gave due respect and honour to the gods, on the basis that if you did this, they would look after you. They looked up to gods, did not bow or grovel to them.

Alexander gave due respect to the gods of the Greek world. He also recognised that the gods of other peoples were the same gods with different names ie Jupiter = Zeus = Jehovah etc, and gave them due respect.
