There was no separation of church and state. The ancient Greeks were polytheistic, meaning that they worshipped multiple deities as well as other supernatural beings. 

The Greeks regarded burial as one of their most sacred duties. It was believed that the soul had no rest as long as the body remained unburied.

Anyone finding an unburied body was expected to immediately throw a handful of dust/dirt over it.]]> 2022-09-01 06:49:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ryu1162521/rpdhz25ita2ys2ma/wish/2278892116 Greek Gods and Goddesses ryu1162521 https://padlet.com/ryu1162521/rpdhz25ita2ys2ma/wish/2278899257 The ancient Greeks had a particular set of beliefs that helped them to understand themselves and the world around them, and they believed in a variety of Greek mythology characters.
