Which version of Mythology do you guys prefer? Greek or Roman?!

@MysticChronicles712 2 ай бұрын

Absolutely! While both Greek and Roman mythology share many similarities, they also have distinct differences in the names, attributes, and stories of their gods. Greek gods often embody more human-like characteristics and are associated with philosophical concepts, while Roman gods tend to be more pragmatic and closely tied to the empire's political and military ambitions. Exploring these nuances adds depth to our understanding of ancient mythologies

just a notice, Pluton was an other name for Hades in Greek mythology. an other fun fact: in english the word cerials comes from the name of the godess Ceres, in greek the same word is dimitriaka/demetriaka (which comes from the name of the godess Dimitra/Demeter). That's funny xD

I've heard Hades didn't exist in the ancient Mycenaean Greek stories. That Persephone and Poseidon were associated with the underworld and Hades only came after, during the time we traditionally consider ancient Greek after the collapse of Mycenaean Greece

did greek mythology came from indian mythology by cultural contact or migration of alina (a rig vedic tribe u can relate it to hellene ) people to west wards and spreading their native culture ie indian vedic culture in europe , is my statement correct , because lot of my indian friends are saying this

It's hard to say where myths originated because the timings aren't 100% known, but I can see how you see some alignments between Greek Myth and Indian Myth! It also could possibly be the other way around-- that Greek Myth influenced Indian myth. More than likely though, cultures feed off of each other. Who knows!
