Ares was in Roman armor, and Hephaestus was crippled and lame.

Mars was the second most important God for the Romans after Jupiter, the Greeks disliked him, they preferred Athena over him.
SomeRandomArsehole
Hephaestus was crippled because his parents threw his fugly ass into the sea when he was born, if I remember correctly
RaisinZetaJones
Lameness and smithing predate Hephaestus by quite a bit; as well as lameness and kingship for whatever reason.

Apollo is the god of males and male pestilence. Artemis is of females and of female pestilence.

Oh ya.. Look up intercrural sex.
killingjoke8181
Apollo was actually in love with a guy once, but he accidentally killed him when he hit him with a discuss in a contest.
killingjoke8181
Also he once fell in love with this one girl but she wasn't in to him. Yet Apollo wouldn't stop bothering her.
killingjoke8181
So she prayed to some god to turn into a tree to escape him. She literally turned into a plant to avoid talking to him.

What am I missing?
SupremeTacos
And Artemis is the goddess of young women. Are you implying something? Am I missing it?
CouldHaveBeenHitler
Artemis is the patron goddess of virgins - "young women" is a bit of a misnomer here.
catiethecookie
Artemis is the PROTECTOR of young virgins.
Meltemi
To be fair, Artemis didn't exactly lay with men, either, save maybe Orion (and that only from Hyginus). That implication cuts both ways.
Canisiel
Um Orion had a crush on Artemis and attempted to get at her but Apollo intervenes to protect her.
Meltemi
In most versions, yes. In Hyginus' Astronomica, he notes that in a tale by Istrus, she loved him and Apollo tricked her out of jealousy.

What inplication, am I an idiot?

Apollo liked young boys. Artemis liked young girls. For banging purposes.

It's not as simple as "The Roman name". The Italic tribes had their own branch of IE-descended myth, it's not a case of transposing names.
benisoyylmao
1. rome was originally etruscan. 2. in the early days of rome, you would have a point, but the romans were hevily influenced by both the -

then how do you account for rome being located, built, fortified, and designed in the etruscan style? why s rome <12 miles from veii-
Malnoch
While this is true, their mythos lined up so well with the greeks that they adopted some of theirs.
manimatr0n
No they didn't. The Italic branches had their own gods. You're mistaking Interpretatio Romana for somethinbn it's not. The Romans used it+

+to help their own citizens understand the gods of other cultures better, not as a method of copying gods into their ranks. Iupiter Optimus+

1) Not as simple as THAT, either. The Latin people did have their own pantheon and mythos, and some of their gods had similar... domains as

2) those the Greeks had - after all, some things (lightning, the sea, etc.) are going to get deified in just about any pantheistic culture.

7) to the point where some other suitable god just picked up what they did. The gods are still Roman - and were Latin, Etruscan, etc. before

3) When the early Romans made contact with the Greeks, there was a lot of cultural exchange. The Romans saw that the Greeks had some similar

8 comments long is why I chose to oversimplify my response, but you are right.

4) gods, but were more impressed with the level of organization to their mythology. So, as time went on, they incorporated this 'Olympian'
