Lesson 15: Proper Adjectives
Proper adjectives
There's a difference between Roman gods and Greek gods, and it's not just their names. For example: Greek gods are known to live or/and rule 700 before the Roman civilization, and Roman gods came 1000 years after the Greeks. Greek gods are based on human personality traits like Love, Honor, Hatred, Dignity, etc... while Roman gods are named after objects. Greek mythology is about creativity rather than physical work. But Roman gods focused on their actions more than on their words.
the god's name changes depending whether is on Greek or Roman. for example: The Greek god of the sky and king of the gods, Zeus, is called Jupiter in a roman form. And Hades, ruler of the Underworld and god of dead is called Juno. Greek god Aphrodite is Venus. Gaea is Terra. Artemis is Diana. However, not ALL the names change, Apollo, The Greek god of the sun, prophecy, music, and healing (son of Zeus; twin of Artemis) is called Apollo in Roman form as well. And Iris (daughter of Thaumas and Electra), The Greek goddess of the rainbow and a messenger of the gods, is Iris in Roman form too.
The series "The Heroes of Olympus" By Rick Riordan is a wonderful place to learn about the differences of this two different kinds of gods. Greek and Roman mythology, adventure, romanticism, and a little of mystery is just the perfect mix.
