Is ancient Greek religion dead?
Actually, there do seem to be some people still interested. I do not remember specifics, but there was a group petitioning to have access to some of the ancient grecian ruins for the purposes of practicing their religion. I also do not know whether this was some manner of "new age" group or people continuing the old traditions of their culture, but if you want to persue a worthwhile answer to your question, finding those news articles about the petition may be a good starting point. The ancient Greek religion became dead before the middle ages as the Greeks converted to christianity. The groups which claim to have this as their religion have no continuity with the ancient religion and have sprung up in the 20th and early 21st centuries.
What groups had the most power in ancient Greek society?
Initially it was the kings. When these were replaced by aristocracies, the oligarchs (as they were known as) held power. Then with experiments in democracy, the ordinary citizens dominated in some cities. These democracies progressively slid back to oligarchies, and the kings who arose from Alexander the Great's successors then took over.
What factors led to the collapse of classical civilization?
About 100 A.D. the Han started to decline. The bureaucracy became corrupt and the power of the central government weakened. Local landlords became more powerful as government control and supervision declined. They increased the tax burden on the peasants and took many of their farms. As peasant unrest grew, a revolutionary movement emerged called the Yellow Turban. The Yellow Turbans were Daoists; their attempts at revolution failed.
Compounding this political weakness and peasant unrest was the effect of several devastating epidemics that wiped out nearly half the population. With all this internal turmoil, the weakened Han dynasty could not fend off the advance of the Hun invaders.
