Do toi think Greek and Roman mythology are two different worlds, ou do toi think they are just 2 different names of the same gods?

I am just trying to work out why Jason used Roman terms :D
*
If they are just different names of the same myths, so what's the difference if Jason uses Roman terms? And if they are 2 different worlds, where were the Roman gods when Percy was fighting Kronos and which world will fall in the prophecy?

The romans adopted the greek culture. But the romans were way mor organized and military powerful. Thats kinda how they took over. it was sorta mentioned in the Lost Hero but in totally different words

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

I think that the two worlds shouldn't be mixed together. Some stories aren't the same (Romulus and Remus for example) but yes, the gods are similar.
Maybe Jason is Italian.

I just found on the internet that they are the same thing just the Romans gave them different names. For example:
Poisdean/Neptune
Zeus/Jupiter
Hades/Pluto
Artemis/Diana
Athena/Minerva
Ares/Mars
Hera/Juno
Aphrodite/Venus
Apollo/Apollo
Demeter/Ceres
Persphone/Prosrpina
Hermes/Mercury
Hephaustes/Vulcan
Hestia/Vesta
Kronos/Saturn
And some of the minor gods/goddess that we might see in the suivant book (that I could find)
Eris/Dicurdia
Pan/Faunus not really minor but was classfied as one.

i is a strange sitch with that because the Romans took the greek gods and made them their own.... for an example Ares was made into Mars but he was not the main god of war any more...

*shakes head* Romans worshiped almost all the gods from Greece, Egypt, Britannia, Norse-lands, everywhere because they didn't know which were real and which weren't so in order to keep all the "real" gods and goddesses happy, they worshiped them all. Soooooooo... yea.... they're two different things.... The Romans just mainly worshiped the Greek gods......

That's hard. I've got to say I've done a lot of research on this trying to figure out who's who. The Greek and Roman gods are a lot alike, they just have different names in roman times and were plus disciplined, war-like and withdrawn from humans. Its the same 'world' with a few variations.

DMLIME said:
When the Gods moved from Greece to Rome toi have to accept that it wasn't just their names that changed along with a little personality. They moved to a country where people spoke a different language and so when the Gods brought their world with them, the Gods adapted along with their creatures like Satyrs for example to mix in with the Roman ethos. So when Satyrs came they adapted to Latin and became Fauns. As someone who is from Rome and will know the adapted version, Jason will use the new term of Faun. I hope tat makes it clearer. So essentially, they are one world that just changed ou adapted.

In my perspective the Roman gods/goddess are the same gods as the Greek but with slightly different personality. Such as Zeus who when he became Jupiter was plus disciplined and war like. Also gods became plus important like Ares when he became Mars he was plus respected and was worshiped a lot more. As for Pompona the Romans created gods in places that they felt really needed one.

I like to think of it as let's say if a Greek deity was a certain shape then the roman equivalent of a dit god would be the same shape and a slightly different color. So like Zeus would be a blue triangle and Jupiter would be a slightly darker colored blue triangle.

This one's pretty hard. I fell in l’amour with Greek mythology when I read the first series. Then, I read the seconde series and I was like "what?". I couldn't keep up with the roman terms. For example: the names of the Greek and roman gods. I got do confused I had to print out a liste of the names. then I got used to it following the series. Now I like both roman mythology. But, I'll always l’amour Greek mythology plus because I find the romans are a bit too organized and aggressive. The point is it's both. They are still the same gods with different names and in the same way both worlds are completely different.
