Does the greek church have priests?
Yes they did... however the priests of Greek mythology probably differed from the priests of todays christianity. in christianity they teach to pray and ask God for things whereas in ancient Greece the preists where probably trying to sacrafice animals to the Gods to keep them happy. evidence of priests are littered everywhere however such as Chryses who during the Trogan war prayed to the Gods. A man called Agamemnon took Chryses' daughter Chryseis from Moesia as a war prize and when Chryses attempted to ransom her, refused to return her. Chryses prayed to Apollo, and he, in order to defend the honor of his priest, sent a plague sweeping through the Greek armies, and Agamemnon was forced to give Chryseis back in order to end it.
