Were the greek gods a real religion or fiction

[MeltedLemonade]

So there's obviously a long and detailed lore about the Greek gods, and supposedly some of this information has been lost to time. Most stories were told through plays and theatre about the stories of the Greek gods.

Many information has been lost to time because it is only thought to have existed in a few theatre performances, so my question is: Were the stories revolving around the Greek gods taken and had people add on things that they themselves purposely made up as apposed to be official?

Over time, their name changed. Many times. I suggest starting with the Sumerians.

Pretty sure they worshipped them legit, at least Zeus anyway. Dunno what the religion was actually called though.

Yes, of course. Every culture's mythology was like their official religion. Some would even sacrifice humans to appease their Gods.

[Bassturd]

Just as real as anything from the Abrahamic religions.

It was legit their religion. That's why there are copious amounts of shrines and temples to venerate them. The Parthenon is a temple to Athena.

Where even did you heard/tought that ? Because no one thinks that, only you it seems. I'm curious on how and why.

Zeus was married to someone funny.

Imagine in the far future someone will say the same thing about Christianity.

“Is Christianity a real religion or fiction?”

Fiction for sure. Evolution is real and christianity says its not, so its clear which is the fake.

Lord Satan wasn't laying dino bones around the world to fool you about the age of the earth.

Older then Christ itself, he got baptised himself into it. And the same story as Osiris and many more. But never at the same time.
