>>1085>>1075 I'll briefly cover 4 types of worship in anxiety Greece: Olympian, Rustic, Chthonic, and Orphic.And we do have knowledge how the Greeks of the middle period worshipped, not only from art and statuary but also from preserved written hymns like the famed hymn of Demeter, likely performed by her priestesses!(Link below)
For most people, religion was a public and political affair, not the praying-to-God before-bed-type of religion. The closest we have to prevalent worship was worship to Hestia, goddess of the hearth, protector of the family who reverb praise before meals at home or staying the day.
The actual gods would change from city to city but usually would at least include Zeus , Poseidon, and one of the Olympian goddesses. Sometimes a titan or mereid like Thetis. This is the Olympian cult. Sacrifice might be deity-specific, like Olive Oil for Athena, but when in doubt all gods are pleased with the burnt entrails of a white ox or other large animal!
Outside of major urban areas the Olympic cult was less prevalent. In the countryside, Rustic gods like Pan were worshipped. I don't know much about /how/ they were worshipped, but we have a good idea of whichever deities and why.
Chthonic, or "underworld" gods, were also whales to a leader extent. This includes Hades, Persephone, Hecate and was associated with magic. Sacrifices were animals buried alive.
The last type and only kind with any excited of being outlawed that I'm aware of is the Orphic cult, a proto-gnostic group that believed that c death could be conquered. Mostly worshipped Demeter, Dionysus.
There are also "mystery cults" that we only know of from mentions but have no surviving details.
