Last Hellenic pagans lived in rural around the mountains near Sparta, Greece before 800s AD. They did not accept to conversion for Greek Christianity.

Cult of Dionysus actually has 1 follower today. His name is Darek Hoffman and he lives in Poland.

Glad to see you didn't equate the Roman Religion with the Greek Religion.
People often mistakenly believe that the Roman Religion came from the Greeks, it didn't.
Instead they share a common ancestral PIE religion.
Afterwards they then cross influenced each other.

Didn't even know about the offshoots of Ancient Greek religion like Hermeticism and Orphism I have to look em up!

[TheDragonHistorian]

This is a really cool and unique video! It would also be interesting to see the spread of Proto-Indo-European mythology and how it led to so many ancient religions being similar

[HistoryandOtherStuffwithBV]

Great video as always.
It's kinda sad seeing the hellenic faith decline so rapidly in the last few centuries of this video.

[ohjahohfrick]

The music really fits the vibe of such a familiar ancient religion rising and falling.

I really admire your works. Greetings from Italy

[savasabos]

Amici greci, saluti dal sud italia, la "magna grecia"!
Greek friends, greetings from south italy, the "big hellas"!

The Hellene will not die as long as his creations live, his culture will not die as long as her veneration is alive and his civilization will not die as long as there are still the People of worth.

Glad we still learn this religion at school even if it have disappeared really interesting religion and very nice video as always!!

[mashiah]

So shame that almost all nations forgot their gods and converted to foreign faiths of Christianity and Islam

[joelrebollar]

Thank you for the video! I love your channel! I want to say however, that the religion did not die out in 750, it actually lasted a bit longer into the late 800's, or the 9th century, in the Maniot peninsula.

[michaelibrahim]

It’s cool how the followers of these religions were able to organize themselves into such neat lines

[arsha]

Its sad to see the Hellenic Faith decline, but it simply couldn't compete with the newer religions. Christianity could address problems that Hellenism couldn't as it was created later. Unless a radical shift in the very nature of Hellenic occured, its decline would have been inevitable anyways

Do evolution of Roman Polytheism next including secret cults that evolved and mystery cults that came from the east. Mithras, Sol Invictus etc.

[eklavyasingh]

As an Indian Hindus I wish I could meet one of these Hellenic Greeks & visit their Ancient Temples ones in Greece.

You should do a video on Roman paganism, showing the history of its development from Rustic to Hellenized and all of the weird pagan cults that developed over the ages in Rome.
I think that would be really interesting, and it would make for an excellent complement to this video, given how many people might think that the Roman religion was identical to the Greek religion of its time.
