The Romans basically ganked everything from the Greeks. So yeah, they're very similar, but the Greeks came first.

Greek mythology Artemis, is the daughter of Zeus and Leto and the twin sister of Apollo. In later times she was conflated with the goddess Diana of Roman mythology. In Etruscan mythology, she took the form of Artume.\n\nOr if you want to buy a missle please visit the link below

May be, it depends how well we correlate our history with mythology. But in some ancient civilizations like India, Greece u indeed find many similarities.

Nope, they were polytheist and thus believed in several divinities \n\nIn some ways Roman religion is a lot like Greek religion, but in other ways it is very different. Like the Greeks, the Romans thought that there were many gods, and that these gods each controlled different parts of the world: storms, the ocean, marriage, blacksmithing, and so forth.\n\nThe Romans were particularly interested in power, and much less interested in balance than the Greeks.\n\nThe chief of the gods, for the Romans, was Jupiter. His name is related to the name of the Greek god Zeus, and Jupiter is similar to Zeus in many ways. They are both sky gods who throw lightning bolts when they are angry. \n\nHope this helps

I would say yes and no. Mythology is basically religious and/or spiritual stories meant to teach, which is basically what everything from the Bible to the tales of Zeus, Jupiter, Odin, etc. etc. are.  But folklore is not always religious, so that I would not put under Religion and Spirituality, necesarily. If you did split them up, I would put Mythology under Religion and Spirituality and Folklore maybe under Books and Authors.

Yes and no. Here is my academic, working-on- my-master's -in-mythology answer: Anything can be both oral history and mythology. For that matter, anything can be hard-fact history and mythology. The academic definition of a myth is a story that gives significance to a religion or a culture, *whether true, false, or unproven*. The entire Bible, though much is historical fact, can be classified as mythology, as can the documented details of Siddhartha Gautama's life, the writings of Confucius, or the Flying Spaghetti Monster's global warming chart.

Greek mythology consists in part in a large collection of narratives that explain the origins of the world and detail the lives and adventures of a wide variety of gods, goddesses, heroes, and heroines. These accounts were initially fashioned and disseminated in an oral-poetic tradition; our surviving sources of Greek mythology are literary reworkings of this oral tradition. Greek mythology was also reflected in artifacts, some of them works of art, notably the repertory of vase-painters. The Greeks themselves referred to the myths and associated artworks to throw light on cult practices and ritual traditions that were already ancient and, at times, poorly understood.\n\nThe span of stories and characters in Greek mythology ranges from the atrocities of the early gods to the brutal wars of Troy and Thebes, from the youthful pranks of Hermes to the heartfelt grief of Demeter for Persephone, all depicted in minute detail in a bewildering range of media. The cast of characters includes many gods, goddesses, heroes, heroines, monsters, daemons, nymphs, satyrs, and centaurs.

There is no correspondence between the Greek/Roman pantheon and the Tarot.\n\nThey are totally seperate traditions seperated by thousands of years.

The temples in Greece were made to honor various Greek gods and goddesses, and were designed around statues of the god or goddess as a rule.  You can read all about the Greek gods and goddesses in Bulfinch's Greek and Roman Mythology, which is available from Dover Press.

It all depends on the story.  In general, the stories from those sacred texts are considered myth.  However, more and more achaeological evidence is surfacing that backs up many of the stories, or, at least, the historical fact the myths are built around.

According to Mr Robert Graves in his book 'The Greek Myths - Complete Edition', out of all the translations of ancient text he has done there are several stories. \n\nAlthough his research is covered by only four pages, in his book it is most probably best if you read these pages yourself. It would be quite hard to paraphrase. If you are interested the book is easy to obtain in Softcover or Hardcover, and the section in the book is 56.\n\nI hope this will help you.\n\nSorry Infinity606, but Juno is Roman and Io is Greek, different myths. I checked out your link to bartleby.com, and they have mixed greek and roman as if they one and the same. That would be like mixing North and South America and sayiny that they are the same.

I thank you for your views, however, there is a huge difference between religion and mythology.\n\nAccording to the Bible, the world - and time - will end when God decides.  Death will come like a thief in the night and no one, but the Father, knows the date or time.

I start from Parthenon an ancient temple of the goddess Athena, There are many temples in Greece the temple of Poseidon in Cape Sounio, the temple of Apollo in Delphi. There are also ancient cities with buildings and temples as Mycenae, Festos, and Knossos in Crete island, Acrotiri in Santorini, Dilos island e.t.c. There are roman buildings as in old town of Rhodes island. \nGreece is like myths it's easy to start telling but it's difficult to stop. It 's a country in southern Europe on the tip of the Balkan peninsula. That country had a geat civilisation 2500 years BC. Learn more in wikipedia/greece

Poseidon is actually in a lot of different Greek myths, his Roman name is Neptune and he was one of the original 6 gods sired by the titans Cronos and Rhea. In the birth of the gods myth he was swallowed whole as a baby by his father Cronos. Later on Poseidon and his 4 other siblings Hera, Hestia, Hades, and Demeter were freed by their youngest brother Zeus who later became the King of the Gods. Supposedly he is married to Demeter, but like the other gods he has been known to stray. Poseidon is the god of the oceans and carries a Trident. He's also involoved in the birth of Aphrodite myth. He sent waves to guide her seashell to the shore. There's also the myth where he tries to win the city that is currently know as Athens away from Athena, he eventually loses though and instead becomes a patron to Troy, which sadly later on also becomes destroyed in The Illiad. A Greek hero that Poseidon was angry at would be in the Odessey, Odysseus ended up blinding a cyclopes, one of Poseidon's sons, and for that Poseidon unleashes a storm that dooms Odysseus to sail endlessly. Although in an act of mercy, when the crew was thrown overboard they were turned into dolphins.\nPS Aphrodite was actually married to the smith of the Gods known as Hephaestus.

It is impossible to know how it differred from reality, because there is no objective evidence of the war at Troy, other than an obvious event at Troy VII where the city was razed to the ground. How it differs from the books it was (loosely) based on, the Iliad and the Odyssey, it would take far too much time and space to list all of them here. For one, Menelaus does not die and takes Helen back to Sparta with him. You should read both of the books to find out the rest.
