Detailed explanation-1: -Due to the presence of Greek colonies on the Lower Peninsula, the Romans adopted many of the Greek gods as their own. Religion and myth became one. Under this Greek influence, the Roman gods became more anthropomorphic – with the human characteristics of jealousy, love, hate, etc.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Romans identified their own gods with those of the ancient Greeks-who were closely historically related in some cases, such as Zeus and Jupiter-and reinterpreted myths about Greek deities under the names of their Roman counterparts.
Detailed explanation-3: -Roman mythology, like that of the Greeks, contained a number of gods and goddesses, and because of the early influence of Greece on the Italian peninsula and the ever-present contact with Greek culture, the Romans adopted not only their stories but also many of their gods, renaming a number of them.
Detailed explanation-4: -Greek mythology has been used in nearly every form of popular culture. Many Greek myths have been adapted into modern novels, movies, TV shows and video games. The word “theatre” is derived from the Greek word “theatron”, meaning the seating section of outdoor arenas where people watched plays.
