Acts 14:11-14 tell us that Paul & Barnabas healed a crippled man at Lystra. This miracle caused some to think that the gods had come to visit them. So they named Paul, Mercurius & Barnabas, Jupiter. And to this Paul & Barnabas were extremely upset as they wanted to point people to the True & Living God, not mythological beings.
So Mercurius, or Hermes was a god of travel, commerce, communications, eloquence: to which Paul was likened for his speech. And Jupiter, or Zeus was the king god of the sky, thunder, lightning, law & justice.
Other Greek gods: Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Aphrodite, Hermes, Dionysus, etc. These names I gleaned from the Web. And these gods would also be included in their religious & family practise.
