| | Polytheism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Today, most historical polytheistic religions are referred to as "mythology", though the stories cultures tell about their gods should be distinguished from their cultus or religious practice. |
 | | Those that weren't include early Vedic Hinduism (which has been termed at the most henotheistic with groundings of monistic, monotheistic and naturalist polytheistic philosophy), henotheistic Greek and the Roman Classical Pantheon of gods, the Abrahamic religions, dualistic Zoroastrianism and Mithraism, and possibly the short-lived Atenism promulgated by Akhenaton in Egypt in the 1350s BC. |
 | | In many civilizations, pantheons tended to grow over time. |
