From the awe and fear that the divine provokes, Greek religion appears as a vast, symbolic, and complex creation that allowed freedom in the expression of thought and emotion at all levels, including cohesive worship.
Myth played a significant role and participation in this whole, as did ritual practices and forms with which they depicted the divine.
Myth, ritual, and visual representation were the three ways in which, through speech, action, and image, the religious devotion and experience of the Greeks were declared and allowed to be expressed.
