Abstract

The article discusses the topic of polytheism in ancient Greece. The author argues that it is important to not only consider individual gods, but also the various configurations and relationships between the gods. A case study is presented on a decree from the city of Mytilene, which lists different gods. The article emphasizes the importance of examining such lists and configurations in order to deepen the understanding of Greek polytheism. The role of Zeus and other gods in different configurations is also discussed. The representation of the divine family in visual arts is also mentioned, emphasizing the need for further research to deepen the understanding of the complex portrayal of the gods in Greek mythology.
