Rigveda was composed some 1600-1700 years ago before greek invasion.


The Rigvedic religion and Greek religion both descend from a common religion. Hinduism is a relative of the Greco-Roman religion, not a descendant. Belief in a god named Jupiter (or some variant) precedes both the Greek and Indian civilization.


Hinduism also has many elments from Indus valley Civilization too.


Yes. Indian religions and greco-roman religion probably both had roots in proto-indo-european religion. There is a website that explores these roots at piereligion.org
