Greek Myths The religious beliefs of Classical Greece can be interpreted in many different ways. Nobody can be sure how or why people believe a certain story about their gods. Different people probably have different reasons for believing a story. Or the same person may believe a story for several different reasons. Not everyone believes all the stories: different people may tell different stories. And people may tell one story in one situation, and a different story in a different situation, whatever seems to fit.Classical Greecegods
