How do these societies depict their gods? How do their depictions differ from modern western society's? What has changed in between then and now to influence this change?

In the greek times, they revered their gods because they believed that what happened to them every day was all because of the gods. They looked at these gods as people, and also they looked at the gods as part of the environment, such as Zeus controlling the sky and weather, Poseidon controlling the water and water weather, etc. By seeing them in such a way they believed in gods, and were willing to do anything for them even sacrificing their own sons to fight monsters that might kill them.

But they didn't realize that everything that was happening to them was because of themselves, not entities that they never even saw. They did start to increase more into science, but for a couple hundred years after that they still believed that gods ruled them.

But now in our times we "know" that gods are not real and that they don't help us on a day to day basis. And that most things that are happening to us is because of us and not because of entities that some greek people believed in several hundred years ago.

The thing that changed most over the years was the advancement in science. With more advancements in science people started wondering if gods really were the cause of everything, and they started believing less in gods and with more in science. With science it proved everything even the things that they thought was from gods. Like thunderstorms,typhoons, tornados,etc. With the advancements in science over the course of four-hundred years or so, people have stopped believing in several gods, and started believing in one god (from the Bible).
