usually the gods
There are no such things as "short stories" to portray Greek gods... they are all very long, but worth the read :)
What are the simularities that both of the cultures have and what are some differences that they both have
In the Classical period, Greek art portrayed the human body as perfect and life-like. Later, during the Hellenistic period, Greek sculptors changed to portray the human body as realistic, including adding blush to the cheeks and color to the eyes.
The Greek statues were meant to look perfect. The Roman copied the Greek art and many other stuffs. But some of the things the Roman copied were different. Their statues were not meant to look perfect. They included every single features, unlike the Greeks. These are the reason why the Roman and Greek statues differ
Figures were modeled after Classical sculpture.
Figures have strong diagonals and dramatic poses.

Greek sculpture influenced the Romans from the 2nd century BC. Prominent 1st century BC and 1st century AD Romans such as Cicero and Pliny the Elder greatly admired the innovative work of classical Greek sculpture artists, such as Polykleitos. However, the Romans did not produce much sculpture based on the classical Greek model. Their sculpture was predominantly portraiture (see below) until , from the 1st century AD, the Romans adopted Hellenistic sculpture, which took sculpture to a different level, as a model for their own sculpture. Prior to the influence of Greek sculpture, Roman sculpture was portraiture sculpture (busts). Their portraiture sculpture is regarded as the best sculpture of this kind ever produced.
