Because they are gods and goddesses of different cultures.
Poseidon was a Greek god, the god of the sea. His Roman counterpart is Neptune. Many of the Roman and Greek gods were similar deities, but their names were different.
They were not; they came from two different peoples, and when Romans took over Greece their gods and goddesses were adopted and adapted to the Roman people.
Many Roman gods were direct copies of Greek gods simply renamed; as in Zeus becoming Jupiter, Hades becoming Pluto, etc.
Hera(Greek) Juno(Roman)
Roman gods and goddesses are pretty much the same, they just have different names.
Because they are gods and goddesses of different cultures.
there is no difference just Pluto is roman because greek gods turned in to roman gods and changed names.
No, the Greek gods and Roman gods are very similar, but they have different names and slightly different attributes. Many of the Roman gods were influenced by Greek mythology, with the Romans adopting and adapting the Greek gods to fit their own cultural beliefs.
Both Greek and Roman gods are the same in essence, but have different aspects. Roman gods were taken from Greek gods, but tend to be more warlike and disciplined. Just like the Greek and Roman cultures, the Roman gods were more warlike, disclipined and honorable. The Greek gods on the other hand, tended to merge into the more artistic creative side. However, the main similarity between Greek and Roman gods is simply this: They are both the gods of whatever they were in the other culture. For example, Hera from Greek myths, is still the goddess of marriage in her Roman aspect, or Juno. Another example is Aphrodite, she is still the goddess of love in her Roman aspect, Venus.
Yes they were named after Greek gods. They are the same gods same power but different names. The most important gods are named after planets
