The Primary similarity in the religions is how they are connected to conceptualize language. As an example, the chief god of the Greeks was Zeus (actually pronounced DZOOS - not ZOOS). HIs name comes from an ancient root word that means, simply, 'god'. It shares that root with the Greek word "theos", which means "god" in Greek, and . Similarly, the Roman chief deity was Jupiter (Iuppiter in Latin). His name, though was the combination of an older name, Jove (Iovus in Latin), and "pater," the Latin word for "father." That original name, Iovus shares the same ancient root as Zeus. In fact, they both refer to the same original idea of a "Sky Father" deity. In Norse, the God of Thunder and protector of mankind was Thor. And while the mythologies and stories themselves are very different, the formation of the names and myths is the same. Thor comes from an ancient root word that means "thunder." In all cases, the names of the Gods actually represent the idea that they embodied.
Norse mythology does not equate to Greek mythology in the same way that Roman mythology does. While Roman mythology borrowed extensively from its Greek counterpart, Norse mythology developed separately. The god in Greek mythology who possibly bears the strongest resemblance to Cupid is Baldur, the god of joy and light, sometimes described as a god of love. Love, however, was the goddess Freyja's domain.
Unlike Roman religion, which borrowed from Greek myth extensively and has clear equivalents to Hellenic deities, Norse religion developed in isolation from Greek and Roman mythos. There is no clear equivalent to Venus (who was a Roman goddess, equivalent to Aphrodite in Greek myths) in Norse mythology. However, as a goddess of love, beauty and sexuality, she has a strong semblance to Freyja, who serves all the same functions in the Norse pantheon.
Midas was never a greek god. He was a friend of Dionysus who was granted a wish. His name is the same in Roman and Greek mythology.
She's the same in Roman mythology as she is in Greek mythology. Her name is still Pandora and her story is still the same.
Morpheus' Roman name is the same as it is in Greek mythology.
no they dont .
The Muses names are the same as in Greek Mythology.
Yes but with different names (Zeus=Greek, Jupiter/Jove=Roman)
Yes, the Greek civilisation preceded (is older than) the Roman civilisation. Many of the Roman gods are in fact the Greek gods that have been given Roman Names - eg the King of the Greek gods was called Zeus and this god became same as the Roman's king of the gods who was called Jupiter.
Greek and Roman mythology shows us the same thing that Norse and Egyptian mythology shows us: that people found a way to explain how the world functioned way before Judaism, Christianity, Islam and all the other religions came to be. Mythology is a way of explaining how and why everything works - for an example, why there is greed, hatred, depression and all those other things in the world. In Greek mythology, the story is of Pandora and her box.
No, in Roman mythology, Earth is not specifically associated with a single god or goddess. The closest counterpart could be Terra Mater, the Roman goddess of the earth and fertility, but Earth as a concept is not personified in the same way as in Greek mythology with Gaia.
