What are the main religion of the Greeks?

Answer 1

The Greeks believed in what we now call Greek Mythology. They believed in Gods like Zeus, Posiedon, Hera, Apollo etc; They prayed to whichever God could most accurately answer their prayers, for example if a Greek army was going on a voyage they most likely would have prayed to Poseidon the God of the seas for safe passage, and Ares the God of War for protection and strength. Hope this helped.

Answer 2

There were three main religions. First was the Old religion, pre-Greek, agricultural and decidedly matriarchal calendar worship. It survived here and there in the countryside, and even in some urban areas, notably Ephesus ( the City of Magic - that is female religion). The invading patriarchal Dorian Greeks brought their Olympian system of gods and goddesses representing natural forces and the less admirable aspects of human psychology, dominated by an all-father sky god Zeus. Over time, Olympianism evolved into a virtual all-male monotheism as the various surviving goddesses were gradually stripped of influence, a process recorded, perhaps, in the Greek myths, most of which really make no sense at all except in the context of this struggle. The absurdity and spiritual emptiness of all-male Olympianism led to the re-emergence of the Mother and the rise of Mystery cults, such as the immensely important one at Eleusis ("Advent"). The Virgin Mother and the Divine Child of Eleusis influenced the development of Christianity and its ritual in which the initiate was "seethed like a kid in the milk of the Mother " is the source of the rabbinical injunction against having meat and milk products in the same meal.
