Who were the people from whom the Romans borrowed the idea of gods appearing in human form?
The Romans borrowed the idea of gods appearing in human form from the ancient Greeks. This concept is known as anthropomorphism, where gods are depicted with human characteristics and emotions. The Greeks believed that their gods could take on human form to interact with mortals, influence events, and intervene in the affairs of the world. This idea was later adopted and adapted by the Romans as they assimilated Greek culture and mythology into their own belief system.
