Olympus (which is like a heaven) They have power over humans and can interfere in humans lives whenever they wish. Humans in ancient Greece and Rome worshipped the gods. They would worship them and pray to them when they needed help in a specific area. For example if someone needed assistance during childbirth or marriage, they would pray to Juno, as she was in charge of that area. They would worship the god by sacrifice – this involved taking an animal to an alter, saying a prayer and killing the animal by cutting it’s throat. This would be done as a gift to the god, and in return the gods should answer your prayer. The term used to describe this is ‘Quid pro quo’ (meaning something for something) religion was like a contract for the people in ancient Greece and Rome.
