Many aspects of Greek mythology were incorporated into Roman mythology, albeit under different names in many cases. For example, the Greek god Zeus appeared in Roman mythology under the name of 'Jupiter'.
However, Greek and Roman mythologies are not entirely the same.

∙ 9y agoYou would need to define 'real' to get the answer you're expecting. They are "real" in the sense that stories them of them are real, and they truly existed in the minds of the Ancient Greeks and Romans. However, beyond that, they are likely not "real" in a true physical sense. That is to say that there likely never was an omnipotent being identified as Zeus living on the top of Mt. Olympus.

Is roman god fake or real?
The existence of gods is entirely a belief. But Roman gods are the same as Greek gods, with different names. If you search the beliefs of Greek gods, they are off the wall. But there is no evidence of any culture's gods. Myself, I believe all culture's gods are fake, except the Christian god, Jehovah.

Were there really Greek gods in ancient Greece?
No, Remember this is Greek Mythology! Meaning it Is not real. Fair enough if you are a Christian and believe in a God, but, well, I'm not, OK. I'm an Atheist (Meaning I don't follow any particular religion) and I look at all religions as Mythology. People normally only start to class a religion as a Mythology if it is (A) dead, or (B) proved incorrect. Greek mythology is both dead and has been proved incorrect. eg You will find that if you climb up mount Olympus, you will not find the home of the gods...!

Who came first Adam and Eve or the Olympian gods?
Adam and Eve belonged to early Hebrew mythology, while the Olympian gods belonged to Greek mythology.
