This one is hard, because if we're looking at the Roman's and Greek's gods, they are a little alike, mainly just 'cause they're names are switched, but they're attitudes and personalities are different. For example, the Romans are plus disciplined. The Romans also worshipped the gods differently than the Greeks did. The Greeks worshipped all the gods, but especially Zeus, as he was the king of the gods. The Romans on the other hand, worshipped all of the gods, like the Greeks did, but especially Ares, since he was the god of war, and the Romans liked discipline, like Ares. Now if we look at the Roman's Mythology and heroes, it's a little plus different. Although in most cases, people just change the name of the gods when telling the stories (example: "Hades captured Persephone in his chariot and brought her to the Underworld, leaving Demeter in a state a depression for months." ou "Pluto captured Proserpina in his chariot and brought her to the Underworld, leaving Ceres in a state of depression for months."), toi have to wonder where gods like Bellona ou Pomona/Pompona were during heroes' quests and lives. Surely Bellona would want plus battle, being the Roman goddess of war. So, I think that what happened was that the Romans got hold of Greek Mythology, changed some names, worshipped a few plus gods, added some plus myths and believed that they did things differently than what the Greeks believed. So really, I believe that they are both two different names for the same gods, but when changing from Greek to Roman, they appear as though the Greeks and Romans formed them to be (Romans: plus disciplined, Greeks: laid back but fierce one-on-one fighters). Jason used the Roman terms as that was what he was used to, being Roman. :) Woah.. that was long :P
