The Greeks believed that dead people went to live in the underworld. The god, Hades, ruled underworld. The body of a dead person was washed and performed. Then it was wrapped in material and flowers were put by the head. It was laid on a bead with its feet nearest the door because it was going to journey. A coin was placed under the dead person's tongue. It was meant for charon, the ferryman who took the dead across the River Styx to the underworld. A story from the underworld is of Dimiter and Persephone. This story explains that when Persephone was in the underworld it was winter and when she was with Demeter it was summer, spring and autumn. In winter Persephone had to go to the underworld because Hades god of underworld was in love with her. Zeus god of all gods and goddesses and Hermes messenger of gods and god of traveling and thieves also were in this story. There are more stories that take place in the underworld.

Greeks believed that gods sent messages about the future Those were called Oracles Gods sent those massages to the priests or priestess and then passed it to ordinary people They were like this, they figured the future People from all around Grece came to visit these priestesses

Apollo's Oracle Delphi was the grates and most sacred temple of them all, it was said that Apollo sent his magic eagles to find the center of the universeand the eagles meat in a mountain called Delphi Apollos temple was the most sacred of all

Each god had a city for himself but they were all honoured the same way Zeus was the god of gods and goddesses. His wife was Hera To enter and see the Oracle you first pay a fee ( to help maintain Delphi) and sacrifice a goat to the gods but before killing it you first had to do some steps First you had to sprinkle some water on top of the goat if it shivered as it always did that was a sign the god was willing to speak Then the prophetess then purified herself at a spring and entered the temple Where she chewed laurel leaves and burned barley flowers at the altar Decending to an underground part of the temple, she entered a small room where she could be heared but not seem She sat upon the prophetic stool and gave her answer to the question

Priestesses couldn`t answer questions during winter because Apollo sun god wasn`t here so Dionysus took his place and large festivals ocured
