In Ancient Greece, city states were independent and often in competition with one another so they had different gods and goddesses as their representatives.

Explanation:

The gods and goddesses of the Ancient Greeks had human qualities and vices.

So, when the city states came into their own as power states in Greece, while retaining their religion common among each other, they adopted their own city gods that represented what their city stood for the better way.

Thebes' god was the god of wine and theater, showing the status of the city as the cultural capital for a long time. Similarly, Sparta was the city of the God of war, and they were a military society.
