What religion were the Greeks?

Greeks followed a set of rituals and beliefs which together may be referred to as the Ancient Greek religion. While philosophies like Platoism and Stoicism also originated within the Ancient Greek religion, the ancient Greeks generally believed in the Greek Pantheon (which contains deities such as Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Apollo, Artemis, Aphrodite, Ares, Dionysus, Hephaestus, Athena, Hermes, Demeter, Hestia and Hera ).
