Greek Deities And Their Roman And Etruscan Counterparts




Roman Mythology was strongly influenced by Greek Mythology and Etruscan Mythology . The following is a list of most credited Cult equivalences between the respective systems. Note however that many Mythographers dismiss both the equivalences made in ancient times and those proposed by modern scholars. The written form of the names are in their original form, e.g. Greek or Latin one, not in the modern English form.

The Greek deities are listed by both their Greek Alphabet forms and their common modern English names, and an additional Latinization is provided in parentheses where there is a significant difference between the common English name and the original Greek. Likewise, where the modern Anglicization of a Roman god differs significantly from the original Latin spelling, the modern English form will be provided in an additional column (in italics if translated into English).
