The Deities of Classical Antiquity

Gods and goddesses played an important role in Roman and Greek culture. They were worshipped as supernatural forces that determined the fate of people and the order of the world. These divine beings embodied aspects of life, nature and human behavior. Their stories reflected not only the values and fears of Greek and Roman society, but also their attempts to understand and explain the world around them. Since antiquity, these deities and their stories have been repeatedly reinterpreted and adapted to the respective realities of life.
