Please answer only if you know... (GREEK GODS & ROMAN GODS)?

Question

I would like someone to point me to a website that has time details on the greek and roman gods.

I am trying to find out just how long the greeks and the romans believed in their gods, as in, a time period. It does not matter which gods, what order, or anything like that, I am just trying to figure out the total number of years they believed in gods other than what we believe in today.

Does that make sense?

I have googled everything I can think of, and not found my answer. I would like specific time periods, such as 5000bc - 300ad, or whatever. I know the romans switched to current cristianity sometime in 300ad, was it 317 ad? Not sure. But when did they first start believing in their gods? Same with greeks. Thank you!

I hope these sites help you as they have a variety of information about the different Gods of each mythological belief system as well as historial facts and time periods of certain political and religious movements within the Greek and Roman cultures.

Answer 2

All available historical evidence points to a time preceeding 500 BCE.

That begins the Classical Era, at which point the civilizations of Rome and Classical Greece were high, but one would suppose that the religion in Greece was at least 300 years old in order to be so well established.

Overall, I surmise around 1200 years or so?

Answer 3

Here is a link to a web page concerning history of Greek god/goddess worship. http://faculty.gvsu.edu/websterm/Greekhistory&gods.htm
I hope this helps you. Most of the Roman pantheon of god and goddess reflect the earlier Greek Pantheon. Since the Greek civilization predates the Romans, I think it is safe to assosciate the two as a continuing line of worship.
