Back in the old days...meaning when Greeks were supreme race on Earth, and were contributing vast amounts of knowledge....they had a habit of inventing 'Gods'.
I won't say that it was a big deal or discussed that much. You needed to have some element of 'protection' and you had a list of Gods created (in the fictional sense) to correct the woes that you ran into.
One of the more interesting Gods that the Greeks created....was Dionysus.
Dionysus was a unique creation. He served around 7 purposes:
1. When you needed entertainment or humor....he was the God of theater. You'd pray to him for singing, a good laugh, or stoic words of inspiration.
2. When you needed top-class wine-making.....he was the God of wine production.
3. When harvest came up for apples or pears....he was the God of orchard harvest.
4. When things seemed dull, and you needed some crazy stuff to happen....he was the God that you generally sought.
5. When you needed hot passionate lust stuff....he was the God to deliver. I should note....in those days without a bunch of chatter or woke-stuff...LGBTQ-stuff just occurred along with 300-odd fetishes, and everyone seemed happy.
6. When the yearly ritual talk started up....he was the God you sought hope for a successful ritual or party.
7. Finally, when you coupled up with some Greek gal and hoped for a kid or two....yeah, he was the God that you had quiet discussions with.
I'm not saying Dionysus was a guaranteed thing....just that people seemed to believe in things not accidentally occurring.
