Did Euripides believe in the Greek gods?
It is difficult to say for sure whether Euripides believed in the Greek Gods or not. He lived in Athens through 406 b.c. and wrote many plays. His plays are about the affairs of the Gods, so Euripides most likely did believe in their existence. Alcestis features Apollo, Herakles, and Thanatos. In Trojan Women, Poseidon and Athene are main characters. And the Bacchae revolves around Dionysus' punishment of King Pentheus of Thebes and his mother for failing to worship him. With these examples, it's easy to assume that Euripides did, indeed, believe in the Greek Gods.
When did Pontius pilate die?
No one knows for sure. In 178 AD the Greek philosopher Celsus wrote in his anti-Christian book, "Logos Alethes" that evidence that Jesus was not god included the fact that Pilate "did not suffer the fate of Pentheus [for rejecting a god] by going mad or being torn to pieces." Origen, a Christian writer, responded to Celsus by saying that Pilate was not truly responsible for the death of Jesus. This suggests that there was no early tradition of execution or suicide in the second or third centuries. It is known that Pilate was ordered back to Rome around 36 AD to answer charges for alleged crimes he committed in Judea, but Tiberius died before Pilate reached Rome. The crimes Pilate was accused of included an unnecessary massacre of some Samarititanson Mount Gerizem. After serving ten years, and with the transition to a new emperor (Caligula) it is reasonable to assume he was simply discharged from service to the empire and went into retirement.

In what sense is pentheus death like actaeon?
Actaeon, the hunter, was torn apart by his own hounds, after he had been turned into a deer for having seen chaste Artemis naked. Pentheus, the king of Thebes, was torn apart by maenads (female followers of Dionysus in a state of ecstatic frenzy) for having banned the worship of said deity in his city. In this act, the maenads were led by Pentheus' own mother, Agave. They are similar in that in both cases the men in question are pulled apart by those who were previously loyal to them, now oblivious to their true nature; Actaeon by his hounds ('man's best friend') who did not see past the metamorphosis, while the Maenads, among which were close relatives, pulled Pentheus apart with their bare hands thinking he was a lion, and again he was killed by those close to him.
