Do you perfer Roman or Greek Myths
The title says it all. I myself like greek myths better although I do enjoy the myth of how Rome came to be.

Re: Do you perfer Roman or Greek Myths
I agree with Luke. The Romans basically robbed the greek culture and gods, then put their own names on everything. Romulas and Remus is a great story of how Rome came into exinstance.

The Greek myths are so much richer in character and have many more.

Re: Do you perfer Roman or Greek Myths
i like the greek cause the romans use the same storyline but with much blander detail and names. (Oh my Gods planets, mars for ares and etc., they're killing the names of the gods.)

Re: Do you perfer Roman or Greek Myths
I guess what I find most interesting is that Hercules is the Roman name for the Greek Heracles. Yet, you never hear him referred to by the Greek name, outside direct Greek Myth materials. In all the movies or TV he is always Hercules.

http://messagenetcommresearch.com/myths/essays/herakleshercules.html - Good bit of reading for those interested in the differences between Heracles and Hercules.
Personally i prefer Greek mythologies even with its large number of inconsistencies due to the originality of it and the greater range of characters involved, the roman's cut back on several of the characters from Greek mythology.

Yeah. I liked the Greek myths published by some publisher in England because they were more appealing. but even the originals had many different versions, so it even depends on which original you read.

Re: Do you perfer Roman or Greek Myths
i like Greek...the roman ones have names that are also planets, and that just makes it weird for me. like, Mars is the war god, i cant imagine Ares being the closest planet to earth. it just makes it confusing.

Prefer Greek Myths...the Roman Myths normally divert all their attention to the heroes and not the gods- who are much more interesting.
