GODS AND GODDESSES
THE GREEKS BELIEVED THAT ALL OF THE GODS WERE ANCESTORS OF THE EARTH AND THE SKY
ZEUS WAS THE KING OF ALL OF THE GODS
THE PEOPLE OF GREECE ASSUMED THAT THE GODS WERE JUST LIKE HUMANS.
THEY BUILT TEMPLES AND SANCTUARIES FOR THEIR GODS
THE WORSHIPPERS OF THE GODS BELIEVED THAT THEY WOULD TREAT THEM WELL IF THEY GAVE THEM ANIMAL SACRIFICES AND THE HARVEST FROM THEIR CROPS.
IN THE TIMES OF ANCIENT GREECE THERE WERE HEAPS AND HEAPS OF DIFFERENT GODS.
THEY BELIEVED THAT THE GODS CONTROLLED EVERY ASPECT OF THEIR LIVES
THEY USED TO THINK THAT IF THE GODS BECAME ANGRY THEN THEY WOULD SEND DOWN BAD LUCK AND DISASTERS WOULD HAPPEN
THE GREEKS WORKED HARD TO PLEASE THE GODS. THEY USED TO BUILD HUGE TEMPLES, THEY HAD FESTIVALS AND THEY USED TO MAKE SACRIFICES FOR THEM

THE COUNCIL ELECTED PEOPLE TO BE PRIESTS
THE PRIESTS WERE USUALLY MEN (FOR THE MALE GODS) AND THERE WERE WOMEN (FOR THE FEMALE GODS)
