As we already know, the Greek people believed in the gods and goddesses. The food of the Gods was called Ambrosia and the drink is called nectar. Eating ambrosia gave the gods their immortality. It was served in cubes. Historians think that ambrosia was some form of honey. The ancient Greeks also scarified part of their foods to the gods. The Greeks burned pigs and the legs and fatty part of animals for their sacrifice.
The Greeks were very clean people, and food preparation was a very clean process in honor of Hestia, the Goddess of hearth and home. People thought of Dionysos, the god of the grape harvest and wine, as being part of the wine they drank, and, Persephone, the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, as being part of the bread they ate.
Over all, the Gods and Goddesses had a big impact on Greek food.
