The names by which the Romans called the Greek gods and goddesses are their own gods and goddesses who they associated with those of the Greeks, over time the two became so entwined that today they are viewed as "another name" of one god; when it is important to remember they were originally separate deities and have sometimes widely different habits and beliefs that surround them.
