And prsona I agree with what you said,but in the past they ruled the world.
I have read all of their stories and I know also traditional ones.
And to consider how all the people who live in Greece are entirely christians now,its very strange and mysterious to see those powerful Gods as myths.How they disappeared?
I think this topic will always remain unsolved and very strange.
Chaz, a god is real to the believer. All is mind, after all. Something which cannot be proved or disproved, yet people believe as concretely as the physical world they perceive is a matter of faith, and not fact.
In that sense, yes: Many gods are real. People who follow, worship, or honor them, have successful practices. Many people pray to different gods and receive answers, whether perceived as thoughts, emotions, synchronistic events, or what have you.
There are many Greeks these days who actively worship the Gods of their ancestors. This religion is called Hellenismos by many of its followers and holds regular celebrations of the Greek Gods. You can read about this at:
All the Greek "Gods" exist, however my personal opinion is that they ain't "Gods"... Oh they are so preety, men with dark hair, women with long black hair...
No, those "Gods" didn't rule the world...to the non-physical/spirit rounds some or all of them are considered Kings and Queens; however they generally don't like to rule; people have made them Kings and Queens yet they all decide together and form soceites and rules (either Kings or wharever). Except that, there are entities with Much stroger power than them, so they couldn't do it it like that. And they don't lile to rule as well, they are humble. :)
All Gods exist, remember that. Mythology is not actually mythology..I get really irritated when someone thinks of the opossite.
Greekgods, Yes I believe are still alive as they are spiritual deities, amd many over the thousands of years still worship their natural ancestral beliefs
