Were I am from, we do a very big ancient Greek festival that lasts for days. It's called Irea-Pythagoria and we basically recreate the wedding of Hera and Zues next to one of the biggest, if not the biggest, ancient greek temples, the temple of Hera at Heraion of Samos. it is said that this is where Hera was born! Although we do it only to attract tourists to be honest, but still.

There are no Romans Gods, dear friend. The Gods are Greek, their names in Latin are Etrurian.
The Romans took from the Greeks the notion of the Law, the first laws (Solon's, the military
and civilian organization, the alphabet, 60% of the language, the religion.
One has to wonder, is it ignorance or envy that makes you trying to denigrate the Greeks?

Jupiter and zuse are 2 different gods, same with the rest of the Greek and Roman gods. To think that they were one was a late spin twist, a Mockery by Constantine but it is fault's. The temple of Jupiter Optumis Maximus was completed by the end of the second or middle of the 3rd Punic war. Rome had its own god's and worship before it went to war on the Greeks

Mercury existed and he called himself Freddie
Why else would he have an instrument as a voice?
Mercury is the god of music
He stole from the rich and gave to the poor
Magnify the galileans image, gallileo disproved ptolemys notion that earth was the centre of the universe and named the planets after the roman gods.
Im Freddie

I-d like to add, the Romans and the various culture groups that made them did have their own systems of religion. Because of proximity they are alot of similarities with the Hellenic Gods. The Roman-s used syncretic practice with the Greek gods but the Roman Gods mostly had their own origins, distinct cultural genesis, and personalities.

I am an atheist but an agnostic atheist as opposed to an antitheist atheist i considered in my late teenage years of being a roman polytheist. But i realized though polytheists are more tolerant their is no more proof of the existence of the gods then of the judeo Christian muslim god.

Hellenist here and just a little note, Roman mythos has it's own origins, and while it was later Hellenized, their deities are not usually perfect equivalents and were not so close to Hellenic deities for most of their history.

Actually some Greeks still have ancient Greek names but don't even know the history of it. I had a Greek friend whose friend's name was Herakles, I worked with an Athena, and some others which I cannot now remember.

The book -The darkening age- tells how christianity brutally destroyed Europe's cultures. I hope that Europeans will re-embrace their own cultures and forsake this dogmatic cult that was forced upon them.

Literally the only reason someone today would believe in the old gods/practice Paganism is to just be a contrarian or different from the rest. Basically they are goth/emo kids who don't wanna be conformists.

Chaire! There are many polytheists in the United States as well, myself included among them. Some honor the Norse Gods, the Egyptian, and the Greek Gods.
Feel free to shoot questions if you're interested

There is a great difference between being infatuated with the AESTHETIC of an ancient religion, as opposed to actually BELIEVING in the existence of a plethora of supernatural deities worthy of worship.

Oh no, sounds like the Greek leaders of the modern take on ancient Greek religion are just like pagan larpers. Greeks were praying for world peace. Pray for victory in combat or an honorable death.

Christianity is not monotheistic, it is a polytheistic religion masquerading as a polytheistic religion. It is a bastardization of Judaism (which actually IS a monotheistic religion.

Nothing is more paranoid than the Abrahamic religions. Hellenic religion had to do with the power of the mind and the power of the universe.

Also a more less mention of the ancient wars, is of the fact that the two opponents shared visits with one another till their war broke out.

Why does everyone have to be so mad? Religion should be an almost playful topic that we could all peacefully engage in no matter our beliefs.

I don-t understand how most people don-t believe in Zeus. After all, there-s exactly as much evidence for Zeus as there is for God. -
