Greeks honoured their gods by conducting religious festivals and sacrifices, rituals and praying in temples.
Ancient Greek religion was polytheistic. There were 12 main deities which made up the pantheon. These gods were recognized by the ancient Greeks but the gods were recognized in different ways by a wide variety of Greeks.
They thought that their gods made the natural events happen when they had bottly functions.
Both the ancient Greeks and Egyptians were polytheistic; they believed in many deities. They had myths about how things came into being, nature, etc. They also built temples to honor their gods and had visions of an "afterlife", or life after death. These are only a few ways the two religions were similar.
Ancient Greece and ancient Rome were both similar and different in many ways. For starters, they both had similar art and architecture. But Greece made their art and architecture more ornate and fancy. The Romans also used an alphabet similar to the Greeks. It was slightly changed, but Greek none the less. Another thing that the Romans had in common with Greece was their gods. Pretty much all the Roman gods were based off of the Greeks. Hope this helped. :D
