Greek Religion Greek Gods Religion in Ancient Greece was polytheistic with many Gods and spirits which represent different aspects of life or nature. People would worship the Gods they found most useful. Many of their beliefs were childlike and came without moral instruction or their influence. Greek Gods Greek God were from one very large extended family and lived on Mt. Olympus. Their behaviours and emotions were very human. (Think Soap Opera)

Interacting with the Gods Each temple was built for a specific god and was meant to make them feel comfortable when they visited Earth. Prayer and worship were a very important part of Greek religion. Families would begin the day with prayer, and who they prayed to depend on what they were doing that day. If one did not pray in the right way or make the wrong sacrifice the Gods could be offended and reject their prayers.

The Afterlife Asphodel Fields Tartarus Elysian Fields After death the soul would travel to Hades by boat on the Styx river. The soul would eventually be meet by three judges. Who would decide the finally resting place. Asphodel Fields A boring place where most would drift around aimlessly Tartarus Eternally punishment, pain and misery for the wicked. Elysian Fields Eternally paradise for the few that lead good and blameless lives
