Greco-Roman Religion: Ancient Greek used to believe in many gods, each god has a role and a specialty: Athena (goddess of wisdom) Apollo (god of war) Aphrodite (goddess of beauty and love) they are all ruled by a higher divinity, Zeus, the god of the gods. It is unquestionable that the same gods were worshiped in ancient Rome using other names. Historians concluded that even Sumerians, Babylonians, Akkadians, the first Assyrians, and Egyptians worshiped the same gods under different names
