How Did The Gods Affected Greece's Behavior

Many, many years ago in Ancient Greece, there lived these Greeks. Not just any ordinary Greeks there lived gods, Greek gods. They all are different and have names such as Hades, Poseidon, Medusa, and Zeus. They were worshiped by the people of Greece and lived on Mount Olympus. And were worshiped by the people of Greece.
