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.
The Romans, simply put, took Greek mythology and renamed the gods.
Greeks - as the Romans were not yet a major power: but the people we know for Greeks did not call themselves Greek when warring with Troy.
The Romans were heavily influenced by the Greeks, and adopted much of the Greek religion as their own. The Greek God Zeus was worshiped by the Romans under the name Jupiter.
The Hebrews developed the Hebrew alphabet.The Greeks developed the Greek alphabet.The Romans developed the Latin alphabet.
Neptune was the ROMAN god to which the ROMAN people identified with the GREEK sea god, Poseidon.
Greek culture was passed to the Romans by the Greeks themselves. This is hardly surprising.
So the Greek Myths could be understood by Roman people; and so the Greek Myths became a part of the Romans.
The Byzantines were descended from the Romans.
The Greek people
Millions of people spoke Koine Greek. Some used the Latin of the Romans. Where ever the Romans ruled you will have found people who spoke in Greek and their own nation's language. I have added a link below if you have a real interest in the language use and history.
The Greek city was in trouble because they had a long war with Romans. Look it says: "Almost 2,000 years ago, the people of Greece were in the middle of a long war with Romans."
It comes from the name the Romans gave to the people who called themselves the Hellenes.

Democracy and democrat are Greek words. Democracy means power by the people (demos)
The Etruscans came to Italy first. Then the Romans developed. The Romans had many Greek slaves and they brought in slaves from other parts of the world.
