Greek Religion: Hellenistic Greece
built 628 days ago
In the beginning of the Hellenistic period the religion seems exactly the same as early Greek. Although Greek religion spread quickly, throughout the East it did not catch on as quickly. This is because the Oriental religion was firmly established in the East. During the second century B C the two religions began to mix. The cults and mystery religions were still popular, but cults had changed a bit. They no longer required belief, and did not appeal to the emotions as much as they had before.
