Hellenismos is the traditional, polytheistic religion of ancient Greece, reconstructed in and adapted to the modern world. It is also called Hellenic Polytheism, Hellenic Reconstructionist Paganism, or simply Hellenism (Classical). Those who practice this religion are variously known as Hellenic polytheists, Hellenic pagans, Hellenic reconstructionists, Hellenists, or Hellenes.
Hellenic polytheists worship the ancient Greek gods—the Olympians, nature divinities, underworld deities—and heroes. Ancestors are honoured, both physical and spiritual. It is primarily a devotional or votive religion, based on the exchange of gifts (offerings) for the gods' blessings. Hellenismos has an ethical system based on the principles of reciprocity, hospitality, and moderation. Today, worship of the ancient Greek gods is common amongst neopagan religions such as Wicca, as well as in dedicated hellenistic circles. There is no central organisation or hierarchal clergy, worshippers act in a personal manner by personally dedicating themselves to a patron God, or a number of gods, reflecting their personal spirituality.

Hellenismos is one. It's a reconstructionist path.
Some links: Hellenismos FAQ (The Cauldron: A Pagan Forum) HELLENISMOS: for the dissemination of modern greek culture Hellenion Sannion's Sanctuary - What is Hellenismos? plus there's tons more sites online... There are others, which I believe Maize already mentioned. Hellenic Paganism Hellenic Polytheism Hellenic Wicca

Pythagorus made his own religion. The concept was that when someone dies the soul goes into another body. I read in a book. That must be a bit of influence of hinduism.
