Ancient Greeks believed in a polytheistic religion, which means they believed in and worshipped multiple gods. The most likely reason for this is that they believed different gods governed different aspects of life. Each god had a specific domain or power, such as Zeus being the god of the sky and thunder, Poseidon being the god of the sea, and Aphrodite being the goddess of love and beauty. By worshipping different gods, they hoped to gain favor and protection in various areas of their lives.
