(1) Architecture and Art -- the themes of various gods and goddesses influenced the buildings and sculptures, such as temples to Athena etc.
(2) Festivals -- Celebrations of Bacchus and other events as part of the culture and history
(3) Goddess beliefs - in general, having a more concrete appreciation of "wisdom" and "nature" as symbolized by female goddesses is more gender-balanced than male-dominated symbols. Statues of Justice as a blindfolded woman and the Statue of Liberty show this influence today. Greek respect for "natural law and order" shows in the orderly construction of their architecture, based on mathematical harmony, and their ideals of Athenian democracy.
