I completely agree with IAmBlur
greeks are just not as popular now, norse was once the noob civ, now its atlantean (although many top players are still atlantean)
its just harder as someone said with the 3 military buildings, but greek troops are very strong, and the typical RC/TA, spear/sling, hip/tox, katapelt/turma combos do not 'OWN' them, especially when you use them effectively with the support of towers.

I played zues today and i made about 5 minotaurs in classical, then when i finally assaulted my enemies base, they were the only ones left alive (oh and my tox weren't scratched)
Greeks also are not disadvantaged in econ, sure they have nothing special about it like all the other civs, but its not like their villies have slower gather rates.
It seems you are complaining that atlantean are ownning greek, well if your poor tox can't handle turmas then simply ADJUST YOUR GAME. THATS WHAT NOBODY DOES!!! NOBODY CONSIDERS THEIR STRATEGIES BEFORE THEY WHINGE THAT SOMETHING IS TOO POWERFUL OR TOO WEAK, YOUR GUYS ARE MOST LIKELY GETTING OWNED BECAUSE YOU PLAY SO PREDICTABLY.
have u ever tried the Hip/Hop combo? (LOL hip hop hip hop...)
sure its food focused, but so what? then all ya have to do is adjust your economy.
