Frequently asked questions
›Are Roman gods just renamed Greek gods?
Mostly yes, but with subtle cultural differences. Romans inherited the Greek pantheon during early Republic and renamed deities to match older Italic gods (Jupiter from Iuppiter, originally a sky-god parallel to Zeus). Some Roman gods have no Greek equivalent (Janus, Quirinus).
›When should I use Roman vs. Greek mythology?
Roman for Roman-empire fiction, Latin-language settings, or when the Latin register matters. Greek for classical-Greek settings or when Greek register matters. The two pantheons share most deities but feel quite different in tone.
›Are Janus, Quirinus, and Faunus available?
Yes - Roman-specific deities without Greek counterparts are in the pool. Janus (two-faced doorways), Quirinus (deified Romulus), Faunus (forests), Sol/Luna (older Italic), Pomona (orchards), Flora (flowers).
