Comparing greek and roman mythology

Answer 1

There are too many comparisons for coincidence. To name but three... Compare the labours of Hercules with the exploits of Sampson Compare the Deucalion flood story with that of Noah Compare Titans as offspring of Greek gods with the biblical Nephilim Many other Sumerian/Babylonian/Assyrian myths also have counterparts in The Bible Reason being that a race (Elohim) visited Earth and found they could not live comfortably in our atmosphere and mostly inhabited the mountainous area of the region. Unable to colonise the planet directly, they spliced their DNA into ours and Homo Sapiens was the resiult. Mating with Homo Sapiens women produced giant hybrids, who became the "Mighty Men of Old" or the Titans if you prefer. We proved to be disbedient and hence have remained Earthbound (cf Adam's punishment). In the Last Days there will be a harvesting of suitable humans to remove "into the heavens". Note the recent flurry of UFO activity culminating in 2012

Answer 2

Romans would take the Gods of any country they had been to.They would then give them new names and order the Public to worship them.Most common of this is Zues or by his Roman name Jupiter.

The Gods and Goddesses would usually keep the normal powers that they had before.

Read Percy Jackson or pay attention in 3rd Grade History.

Answer 4

Greek gods were kinder, and less about war. Roman gods were about honor, strength and discipline. Also, the Greek gods were the original ones. Later, the Romans came and borrowed the Greek gods(cultural borrowing) but put different names. For example: Hera (Greek)is Juno(Roman), Zeus is Jupiter, Hades is Pluto, etc.

Answer 5

The Romans had a pretty bland mythology so they basically yanked the playbook from the the Greek mythology and renamed all the Greek gods to Roman names. So the answer would be quite a bit.
