Sadigh Gallery: Gods & Goddesses in the Ancient World

At Sadigh Gallery, we are known for offering artifacts from a wide range of cultures, ranging from Egypt to Greece. However, we stand out in the ancient artifact industry for offering not only high-quality merchandise but also helpful information about the cultures associated with our artifacts. An especially important aspect of these cultures is religion, with many ancient cultures — such as Greece — being polytheistic, meaning they worshipped multiple gods. Here is a glimpse at the gods and goddesses of the Greek ancient world, which gave birth to many of our artifacts.
