Mythology Notes
Greek vs. Roman Gods
General
• Greek and Roman gods were referred to as
“Immortals” – a reference to the fact that they
lived forever.
• Immortals could be deceived or defeated even
by mortals.
• Immortals were open to the same vices as
humans – greed, lust, hatred, love, joy and
sadness.
• Immortals in Greek and Roman culture were the
same ones just with different names.
