Would the ancient/classical Greeks have actually believed in their gods like Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Apollo, Athena, etc in a more or less literal way, as supernatural powers, or did they too see them largely as myths? Seems like they started as just ways to explain or represent natural phenomena. Anyway it seems like philosophers like Socrates, Plato, Aristotle didn't literally believe in a lot of that, based on their writings, but of course they were special.
