Best Answer

The Greeks were fairly tolerant of other religions. It was a common practice to use ancient Greek religious concepts, deities, and myths to interpret or attempt to understand the mythology and religion of other cultures.

Herodotus was one of first to engage in this form of interpretation. In his observations regarding the Egyptians, he establishes Greco-Egyptian equivalents like Amon/Zeus, Osiris/Dionysus, and Ptah/Hephaestus.
