Greek, Egyptian, (etc)'s mythology?

[Valon328]

Is there a name for Greek's religion (ancient Greece), and same for Egypt?

And what religion was King Arthur from Camelot? Was it Christianity?

Thanks, this is random, but it's for a storyline. :x

I don't think Greeks had a named religion, or egyptians. Their religions and practices were based on polytheism. Use a search engine for more information, it's faster and more accurate ;D.

Okay, thanks! I tried searching on Google, but I just wanted to post here to see what you guys know that I've missed!! :D

Obvious post is obvious

There were tons of religions and cults in ancient Greece.

Ugh.. what I mean is that that was the only name given to it. Go troll your ass somewhere else.

If Greek Mythology is part of your game, I suggest having animal sacrifices. Those were a pretty big part of Greek and Roman Mythology I believe.

He can be whatever you want. Both Camelot and King Arthur are fictional.

There is a tale of King Arthur, and I recall him being Christian.

Wait, wasn't King Arthur in the medieval period?

He never existed. He's fictional.

call it paganism.  Greek paganism, and Egyptian paganism.  Pretty sure the correct term for the general greek religion now is greco-roman polytheism.  And king arthur was anglican (variety of christianity).

[saadhamza]

paganism? I'm pretty sure that's completely different.

[Robin]

Paganism is just a term Christians use to refer to polytheist religions.

yes, yes it is.  But it sure sounds a lot more like a religion then "mythology".  Mythology is just a bunch of fairy tales that people believe in.

Greek Mythology is referring to the group of stories which were used back in ancient Greece concerning their Gods.

Greek Mythology != Mythology.

thats exactly what i mean, mythology seems much more like just a bunch of stories, but calling it greek paganism seems more like a religion.  All i'm trying to say is that calling it greek paganism makes it SOUND more like a religion to me.
