How do we know that the grek Gods ever exsisted? From what I have researched most of them were made so that certain people would be more respected or for kings to become either popular or rich. So does anyone have any clue if they actual exsited or was it all made up???

No, they did not really exist. Read the Bible. There is only one true GOD! The rest were indeed made up and handed down for many centuries. It is only to know these cultures and for literary benefit that we even learn about them. Seriously, I don't know your age, but, you really should read the Bible. Not only will it lead you to have everlasting life, due to Christ dying for our sins, but you will probably find it impossible to put down once you get past Genesis 1 or skip it. I understand that the "who begot who" gets to be very boring. However, many people don't realize or consider that it is one of the most intriguing soap operas ever. Everything is in the Bible, including orgies, adultery, murder, war, incest, theft, prostitution, backstabbing, and of course, good Samaritans, great guidance, history of the world, a biograhpy of Christ, revelations of what is to come, and spiritual growth. Good Luck!!!

That's right and as i think Greek mythology is just a literature that was made by the great Philosophers,but Greek mythology just gives meaning to some Latin words in a fantastic stories...

Remember, people believed in the Greek gods at one point as much as you believe in the Judeo-Christian god now. There is no evidence of either's existence, yet people chose and choose to believe in them. Genesis and many other aspects of the Bible were written because people did not have an explanation for things such as the Earth's origin, but we now know that it was formed from the accretion of hard matter around a giant ball of flaming gas (though the Bible says the sun formed around the Earth). If the Bible is evidence for the existence of your God, then the many stories and books and scrolls and paintings are all evidence for the existence of the Greek gods. Your God was made up and passed down for many centuries (about 35 - 3500 years), just as the Greek gods were.

TL;DR: Your answer was an unnecessary promotion of your religion and did not effectively answer the asker's question.
