Greek and Roman Beliefs

Greek and Roman beliefs centered on a rich pantheon of gods and goddesses who influenced every aspect of life and nature. They believed these deities had human traits and personalities, often intervening in human affairs. Rituals, offerings, and festivals honored the gods to seek favor and ensure order. They also believed in myths explaining origins, morality, and natural phenomena. Romans incorporated Greek gods but gave them Roman attributes and names. These beliefs provided a framework for understanding the world, guiding moral conduct, and fostering community through shared religious practices.
