Introduction
So... Who Were the Greek Gods?
The Olympians
A Picture of The Olympian Gods
Greek Society
In each and every independent state, all the Gods in Ancient Greece was also worshipped, honoured and represented through offerings, statues, temples and much more, especially their patron God.
In Ancient Greece, there existed an extremely large disrespect for woman in the system of Gods as well as in Ancient Greek society. Woman and girls were not given as close to as many rights as men and were not given as many privileges as well. They weren't even permitted to often take part in public life! Their social status only came from their husband or partner and their life options were very limited compared to what men were offered.
For the free people in Ancient Greece, the Greeks believed in being free as long as they acted within the laws of Ancient Greece, which made life quite bliss for the free people compared to the slaves. In their society, the Athens had the most power and did not have to do things like pay taxes etc. while Metics, which was the middle class, had quite a small amount of rights compared to the Athens. Metics usually were people interested in trade and manufacturing. Freedmen, who were the lowest class of free men, were the people in Ancient Greek society who were once slaves but were somehow freed by their master. These people had very, very low rights in Ancient Greece.
