In the early Mycenaean religion all the dead went to Hades, but the rise of mystery cults in the <a href="/wiki/Archaic_Greece" title="Archaic Greece">Archaic age</a> led to the development of places such as Tartarus and Elysium. </p><p>A few Greeks, like <a href="/wiki/Achilles" title="Achilles">Achilles</a>, <a href="/wiki/Alcmene" title="Alcmene">Alcmene</a>, <a href="/wiki/Amphiaraus" title="Amphiaraus">Amphiaraus</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ganymede_(mythology)" title="Ganymede (mythology)">Ganymede</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ino_(Greek_mythology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Ino (Greek mythology)">Ino</a>, <a href="/wiki/Melicertes" title="Melicertes">Melicertes</a>, <a href="/wiki/Menelaus" title="Menelaus">Menelaus</a>, <a href="/wiki/Peleus" title="Peleus">Peleus</a>, and a great number of those who fought in the Trojan and Theban wars, were considered to have been physically immortalized and brought to live forever in either Elysium, the Islands of the Blessed, heaven, the ocean, or beneath the ground. Such beliefs are found in the most ancient Greek sources, such as <a href="/wiki/Homer" title="Homer">Homer</a> and <a href="/wiki/Hesiod" title="Hesiod">Hesiod</a>.

It consisted largely of stories of the gods and how they interacted with humans. Myths often revolved around heroes and their actions, such as <a href="/wiki/Heracles" title="Heracles">Heracles</a> and his <a href="/wiki/Twelve_Labors" class="mw-redirect" title="Twelve Labors">twelve labors</a>, <a href="/wiki/Odysseus" title="Odysseus">Odysseus</a> and his voyage home, <a href="/wiki/Jason" title="Jason">Jason</a> and the quest for the <a href="/wiki/Golden_Fleece" title="Golden Fleece">Golden Fleece</a> and <a href="/wiki/Theseus" title="Theseus">Theseus</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Minotaur" title="Minotaur">Minotaur</a>. </p><p>Many species existed in Greek mythology. Chief among these were the gods and humans, though the <a href="/wiki/Titan_(mythology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Titan (mythology)">Titans</a> (who predated the Olympian gods) also frequently appeared in Greek myths. Lesser species included the half-man-half-horse <a href="/wiki/Centaur" title="Centaur">centaurs</a>, the nature-based <a href="/wiki/Nymph" title="Nymph">nymphs</a> (tree nymphs were <a href="/wiki/Dryad" title="Dryad">dryads</a>, sea nymphs were <a href="/wiki/Nereid" class="mw-redirect" title="Nereid">Nereids</a>) and the half-man, half-goat <a href="/wiki/Satyr" title="Satyr">satyrs</a>. Some creatures in Greek mythology were monstrous, such as the one-eyed giant <a href="/wiki/Cyclopes" title="Cyclopes">Cyclopes</a>, the sea beast <a href="/wiki/Scylla" title="Scylla">Scylla</a>, whirlpool <a href="/wiki/Charybdis" title="Charybdis">Charybdis</a>, Gorgons, and the half-man, half-bull <a href="/wiki/Minotaur" title="Minotaur">Minotaur</a>. </p><p>There was no set Greek <a href="/wiki/Cosmogony" title="Cosmogony">cosmogony</a>, or creation myth. Different religious groups believed that the world had been created in different ways. One Greek creation myth was told in Hesiod's <i><a href="/wiki/Theogony" title="Theogony">Theogony</a></i>. It stated that at first there was only a primordial deity called <a href="/wiki/Chaos_(cosmogony)" title="Chaos (cosmogony)">Chaos</a>, after which came various other primordial gods, such as Gaia, Tartarus and Eros, who then gave birth to more gods, the Titans, who then gave birth to the first Olympians. </p><p>The mythology largely survived and was expanded to form the later <a href="/wiki/Roman_mythology" title="Roman mythology">Roman mythology</a>. The Greeks and Romans were literate societies, and much mythology, although initially shared orally, was written down in the forms of <a href="/wiki/Epic_poetry" title="Epic poetry">epic poetry</a> (such as the <i>Iliad</i>, the <i>Odyssey</i> and the <i><a href="/wiki/Argonautica" title="Argonautica">Argonautica</a></i>) and plays (such as <a href="/wiki/Euripides" title="Euripides">Euripides</a>' <i><a href="/wiki/The_Bacchae" title="The Bacchae">The Bacchae</a></i> and <a href="/wiki/Aristophanes" title="Aristophanes">Aristophanes</a>' <i><a href="/wiki/The_Frogs" title="The Frogs">The Frogs</a></i>). The mythology became popular in Christian post-<a href="/wiki/Renaissance" title="Renaissance">Renaissance</a> Europe, where it was often used as a basis for the works of artists like <a href="/wiki/Botticelli" class="mw-redirect" title="Botticelli">Botticelli</a>, <a href="/wiki/Michelangelo" title="Michelangelo">Michelangelo</a> and <a href="/wiki/Rubens" class="mw-redirect" title="Rubens">Rubens</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Morality">Morality</h3></div> <p>One of the most important moral concepts to the Greeks was aversion to <a href="/wiki/Hubris" title="Hubris">hubris</a>. Hubris constituted many things, from rape to desecration of a corpse,<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and was a crime in Athens. Although pride and vanity were not considered sins themselves, the Greeks emphasized moderation. Pride only became hubris when it went to extremes, like any other vice. The same was thought of eating and drinking. Anything done to excess was not considered proper. Ancient Greeks placed, for example, importance on athletics and intellect equally. In fact many of their competitions included both. Pride was not evil until it became all-consuming or hurtful to others. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Sacred_texts">Sacred texts</h3></div> <p>The Greeks had no <a href="/wiki/Religious_text" title="Religious text">religious texts</a> they regarded as "revealed" scriptures of sacred origin, but very old texts including <a href="/wiki/Homer" title="Homer">Homer</a>'s <i><a href="/wiki/Iliad" title="Iliad">Iliad</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Odyssey" title="Odyssey">Odyssey</a></i>, and the <a href="/wiki/Homeric_hymns" class="mw-redirect" title="Homeric hymns">Homeric hymns</a> (regarded as later productions today), Hesiod's <i><a href="/wiki/Theogony" title="Theogony">Theogony</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Works_and_Days" title="Works and Days">Works and Days</a></i>, and <a href="/wiki/Pindar" title="Pindar">Pindar</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Ode" title="Ode">Odes</a> were regarded as authoritative<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and perhaps inspired; they usually begin with an invocation to the <a href="/wiki/Muse" class="mw-redirect" title="Muse">Muses</a> for inspiration. <a href="/wiki/Plato" title="Plato">Plato</a> even wanted to exclude the myths from his ideal state described in the <i><a href="/wiki/Republic_(Plato)" title="Republic (Plato)">Republic</a></i> because of their low moral tone. </p><p>While some traditions, such as Mystery cults, upheld certain texts as canonic within their praxis, such texts were respected but not necessarily accepted as canonic outside their circle. In this field, of particular importance are certain texts referring to <a href="/wiki/Orphic_cults" class="mw-redirect" title="Orphic cults">Orphic cults</a>: multiple copies, ranging from between 450 BCE and 250 CE, have been found in various parts of the Greek world. Even the words of the oracles never became a sacred text. Other texts were specially composed for religious events, and some have survived within the lyric tradition; although they had a cult function, they were bound to performance and never developed into a common, standard prayer form comparable to the Christian <a href="/wiki/Pater_Noster" class="mw-redirect" title="Pater Noster">Pater Noster</a>. An exception to this rule were the already named Orphic and Mystery rituals, which, in this, set themselves aside from the rest of the Greek religious system. Finally, some texts called <span title="Greek-language text"><i lang="el-Latn">ieri logi</i></span> (<a href="/wiki/Greek_language" title="Greek language">Greek</a>: <span lang="el">ιεροί λόγοι</span>) (sacred texts) by the ancient sources, originated from outside the Greek world, or were supposedly adopted in remote times, representing yet more different traditions within the Greek belief system. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Practices">Practices</h2></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Ceremonies">Ceremonies</h3></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Ceremonies_of_ancient_Greece" title="Ceremonies of ancient Greece">Ceremonies of ancient Greece</a></div> <p>The lack of a unified priestly class meant that a unified, <a href="/wiki/Canon_of_Scripture" class="mw-redirect" title="Canon of Scripture">canonic</a> form of the religious texts or practices never existed; just as there was no unified, common sacred text for the Greek belief system, there was no standardization of practices. Instead, religious practices were organized on local levels, with priests normally being <a href="/wiki/Magistrates" class="mw-redirect" title="Magistrates">magistrates</a> for the city or village, or gaining authority from one of the many sanctuaries. <a href="/wiki/Pausanias_(geographer)" title="Pausanias (geographer)">Pausanias</a> notes that the priest of the <a href="/wiki/Temple_of_Athena_Alea" title="Temple of Athena Alea">temple of Athena Alea</a> at <a href="/wiki/Tegea" title="Tegea">Tegea</a> was a boy, who held office only until reaching the age of <a href="/wiki/Puberty" title="Puberty">puberty</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Some priestly functions, like the care for a particular local festival, could be given by tradition to a certain family. To a large extent, in the absence of "scriptural" sacred texts, religious practices derived their authority from tradition, and "every omission or deviation arouses deep anxiety and calls forth sanctions".<sup id="cite_ref-Burkert_1985,_Introduction:3_14-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Burkert_1985,_Introduction:3-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><a href="/wiki/Ceremonies_of_ancient_Greece" title="Ceremonies of ancient Greece">Greek ceremonies</a> and rituals were mainly performed at <a href="/wiki/Altar" title="Altar">altars</a>, which were never inside temples, but often just outside, or standing by themselves somewhere.

The animal, which should be perfect of its kind, was decorated with <a href="/wiki/Garland" title="Garland">garlands</a> and the like, and led in procession to the altar; a girl with a basket on her head containing the concealed knife led the way. After various rituals, the animal was slaughtered over the altar. As it fell, all the women present "[cried] out in high, shrill tones". Its blood was collected and poured over the altar. It was butchered on the spot and various internal organs, bones and other inedible parts burnt as the deity's portion of the offering, while the meat was removed to be prepared for the participants to eat; the leading figures tasted it on the spot.

Taking notice of how Christianity ultimately flourished under suppression, Julian pursued a policy of marginalization but not destruction towards the Church; tolerating and at times lending state support to other prominent faiths (particularly Judaism) when he believed doing so would be likely to weaken Christianity.<sup id="cite_ref-Brown,_Peter_1971,_p._93_42-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Brown,_Peter_1971,_p._93-42"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>42<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Julian's Christian training influenced his decision to create a single organized version of the various old pagan traditions, with a centralized priesthood and a coherent body of doctrine, ritual, and liturgy based on <a href="/wiki/Neoplatonism" title="Neoplatonism">Neoplatonism</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-hughes_43-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-hughes-43"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>43<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-44" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-44"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>44<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> On the other hand, Julian forbade Christian educators from utilizing many of the great works of philosophy and literature associated with Greco-Roman paganism.
