the origins of the greek and roman

deities differ both in creation and time

the greek gods in particular have no

specific

text or literary introduction there is

no equivalent to the christian bible or

muslim quran

but instead a long tradition of orally

shared

tales tracing back to the bronze age

the exact time of the first genesis

story is

unknown although it is clear that by the

point of homer's widely famous poems

the iliad and the odyssey somewhere

around the 8th century bc

readers were expected to already know

who the deities were

as he gave no introduction despite their

use as the main characters

the first comprehensive account of how

both the universe and gods came to be

was written by hesiod near 700 bc

and later authors used his work known as

theogony

as a foundation for their own literature

the romans contrarily based most of

their deities on those of the greeks

at the time that they invaded greece in

146

bc the romans had not yet settled on

their own

advanced system of mythology because of

this coupled with the fact that roman

literature was also

less sophisticated than the greeks the

romans ultimately adopted the greek

deities

and their stories with only a few

notable differences

for one the names of the gods differ

between the two

zeus the greek king of the gods as an

example

parallels the roman god jupiter the same

goes for the greek aphrodite and the

roman venus

the greek hades and the roman pluto and

so on

another distinction was made in the

appearance of the deities

for the greeks their gods resemble

beautiful and stunning human-like

beings based on their personality traits

meanwhile the roman gods were more of a

concept

than a physical entity this means that

their appearance

exists further in the individual

imaginations of those who worship them

there are of course other deities

outside of the olympians as well

such as many famous greek demigods

namely characters like hades and

achilles

because the greeks and romans of ancient

times were polytheistic

meaning they worshipped a plethora of

gods the religious majorities

in these same regions today tend to

differ greatly

in our time roughly 84 of the world

population

is religious in some way about 55

of the world is monotheistic meaning

they only worship

one god this group is predominantly made

up of faiths

such as christianity and islam both of

which worship the god of abraham

the other main categories of religions

in the world today

include reincarnationists at about 22

percent of the world's population

and encompass the faiths of hinduism and

buddhism

the latter having stemmed from the

former and folk or ethno-religions

folk religions include faiths that have

existed long before the main

modern religions and make up about six

percent of the world's population

with 90 percent of that being found in

asia

the remaining global population is

considered to be

unaffiliated with these groups rounding

out the world's population

it seems that polytheism quite

definitely still exists

today but not necessarily in a high

percentage within the population of

greece and rome

as it once did in greece respectively a

whopping 98

of the country today consider themselves

to be orthodox christians

while that number is significantly high

there is still a pattern of

increase of polytheistic beliefs since

1990

and the leaders of the minority faith

claimed in 2005

that somewhere around 2 000 citizens of

greece

were followers of the old religion

unfortunately though

it is fairly difficult to get an exact

number of devotees

mostly due to the factor of privacy when

it comes to one's personal beliefs

likely fearing judgment or

discrimination not all polytheists are

open about their faith

but nonetheless multiple organizations

exist in greece

with a goal of reviving the ancient

religion

one of these groups which goes by the

name of elena

known in full as the holy association of

greek ancient religion believers

made a noteworthy step toward victory

when a ruling in 2006

acknowledged them as a cultural

organization

a yearly festival created in 1995

by dr trifan olympios a professor of

philosophy

at the university of stockholm called

the promethea festival

also exists as a panhellenic event to

celebrate the ancient greek culture

the festival lasts four days and takes

place

at the foot of mount olympus attracting

both local and foreign attendees

annually back in january of 2007

lna held the first hellenic right at the

1800 year old temple of olympian zeus

since the roman empire banned the

ancient greek religion

in the latter half of the 4th century

the celebration lasted 90 minutes

and was filled with hymns and dancing

celebrating the union of zeus and hera

and calling upon zeus to bring world

peace

other festivities of this kind also

exist to celebrate different things

such as seasonal changes rituals as well

as some groups like the supreme council

of hellenic nationals

regularly meeting to attend lectures or

perform

rights together if it were up to them

these faithful worshipers would see

ancient temples restored

and many dreams of being able to perform

some of their rituals inside the

parthenon

while some followers may have more of a

casual faith

others go as far as to even change their

names to ones in ancient greek

and utilize the ancient calendar

although the prevalent majority deems

the polytheists in the region to be some

type of crazy

and numerous historians even argue that

such worshipers are merely glorifying

outdated beliefs that had little to do

with ethics or morality

the numbers still estimate that a

potential 100

000 people within greece have some type

of interest in the ancient

faith outside of greece however it is

not as easy to find exact or even

estimated figures for those who still

believe in

either the ancient greek or roman

deities the percentage of those people

within the world population

is likely incredibly small especially

factoring in the reality

that over half of the globe is strictly

monotheist

and the other categories include a

plethora of faiths

while the number of hellenic believers

is quite possibly increasing

it is still a slim chance that it will

become a predominant religion

even nationally anytime soon or ever as

authors and filmmakers continue to

utilize the ancient greek and roman

mythological beliefs

and stories for entertainment the uptick

of interest in those corresponding

faiths

is bound to increase even if that
