Polytheism is a religious belief or doctrine that involves the worship of multiple gods or deities. In polytheistic religions, there is a belief in the existence of multiple divine beings, each having their own specific powers, responsibilities, and areas of influence. These gods often represent different aspects of nature, such as the sun, moon, earth, or specific natural forces. Examples of ancient civilizations with polytheistic religions include ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, and ancient Rome.
