The Roman names of these Greek gods are Jupiter (Zeus), Neptune (Poseidon), Pluto (Hades), Mercury (Hermes), Mars (Ares), and Venus (Aphrodite). The commonality is that their Roman names were used to identify similar roles and attributes in the Roman pantheon as in the Greek pantheon.
Romans named their gods after their natures: Cupid (Desire) and so on and so forth, from what we understand, however there are gods and goddesses from Roman myth whose names are of uncertain origin.
Good question, all the planets' names except earth were named after roman gods and goddesses. Venus is named after the roman goddess of love, Neptune the roman god of water. Saturn the roman god of farming, Mars the roman god of war, Jupiter the ruler of all the roman gods. Uranus however was named after the Greek God (roman and greek mythology is different) of the sky. Even Pluto now not a planet was named after the roman god of the underworld or dead.
Elements got their names from their latin names,greek gods,or from the names of the persons who discovered them.
Jupiter is the Roman equivalent to Zeus. Jupiter is the Roman God of Gods.
His Roman name was Mars.
Roman gods and goddesses are pretty much the same, they just have different names.
The Greek gods have 2 names because they are known in both Greek AND Roman mythology, only in differant names.
there is no difference just Pluto is roman because greek gods turned in to roman gods and changed names.
The Romans based their gods on the Greek gods and only changed the names.
most giant and monsters in Greek and roman mythology are just things the gods created and then discarded.
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
Greek mythology came first. Then the Romans came. They admired the gods and goddesses of the Greeks and copied. The Roman gods and goddesses and more disciplined and war-like. Because Greek and Roman mythology things can't have the same name, Romans changed the names.
The Romans adopted the the Greek gods as their own, giving them new names. Pluto's Greek name is Hades. Roman astronomers later gave the planets the names of their gods and goddesses.
Misconception here; the Romans did not adopt Greek gods and change their names. They already had their own gods and simply equated them to Greek gods later.
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.
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.
