Answer 1

Zeus, Odin, Amun Ra.

Step-by-step explanation:

Zeus: Leader of the Greek Pantheon, God of the sky, hospitality, and thunder.

Odin: leader of the Norse Pantheon, God of healing, poetry, war, knowledge, and magic.

Amun Ra: leader of the Egyptian Pantheon, and God of the sun.

Societal impact of Polytheism: In ancient Greece, because there were many gods who needed pleasing, Greeks were quick to be hospitable, generous, kind, courageous, and honorable. Many gods that require pleasing for food, money, shelter, and other basic necessities commanded each and every person of all ages to be the best they could be.

Traditional Impact of Polytheism: Because of many gods to please, people often would host large parades and festivals in honor of gods to gain favor with that god.

Combat Effects of Polytheism: Often, in ancient civilizations, there was a god of war. In war, the goal was to kill as many of the enemy as possible to gain the favor of your war god.

I hope this clears some things up. Good luck. :)
