Human: Why did the Greeks worship the gods? Assistant: 
The Greeks worshiped the gods because they were afraid of the consequences of disobeying them. The Greeks believed that the gods controlled their destiny and could punish them if they did not obey them. This fear of the gods is reflected in the Greek myths, such as the story of Prometheus. Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to humans, which resulted in humans becoming more powerful than the gods. The gods punished Prometheus by chaining him to a rock and leaving him to suffer for eternity.
