Ok, well they are more improved than the Greeks, but then again if the Romans stole from the Greeks I wouldn't really like them, but most of the Roman names are easy to say.

Don't just base opinion on a name. Base it on the story behind it. For example, Jupiter is the king of the gods, Lord of the sky, master of the lightning bolt. So is Zues, the Greek version.

Yeah, I guess, and the Greeks have some pretty good stories, I'm guessing the Romans just made the stories better.

I'm not sure what you mean. The stories are, like, really close to being the same.

Oh, well, I haven't actually read the stories, I more of guessed that's what they did. *chuckles sheepishly*

When the Romans met the Greeks and heard all the stories about the Greek gods, they adopted all the Greek gods. They changed the names of the gods to make them Roman and changed some of the stories to make the gods act more like Romans. They just took it and made it more "Roman".
It's alright. As you read Heroes of Olympus, you'll see what I'm saying. Have you read Percy Jackson?

Oh, that makes sense, cause if they kept the stories they took the way they were and claimed they came up with the stories themselves people wouldn't believe them and call them liars.
I've seen the movie the lightning thief, haven't read it though.

Greek is pretty good, probably my second fav, though some of their stories weird me out. XD Lol. My favorite greek myth is the one about Orpheus. :) Such a sad little story.
So who is everyone's favorite gods? Mine are Greek: Nike Egyptian: Isis

Yeah. But they are still very obvious with it.
No, don't rely on the movies! They are sacrilege! Also, you may want to read the Percy Jackson series before you move on with Heroes of Olympus.
