Well, when the Roman's took over Greece, they adapted to their culture. Taking things from theirs and mixing it with the Greeks. For example, the Roman took the architecture and mythology from the Greek people. Though while taking the stories and powers of the Greek gods and heroes told in the stories, they changed their names. Zeus became Juiptar. Ares became Mars. Poseidon became Neptune, feared by the Romans, and so on and so forth. This is how the Roman stayed in power of their huge empire for so long. Taking different things from each place they took over, making them feel like they still had some of their old culture. Happy NOT repels.
