[quote author=Agamemnon link=topic=902.msg16361#msg16361 date=1290490177]The big difference is that the Romans had GODS for everything where the Greeks had twelve GODS and a few minor GODS.[/quote]
Gotta disagree here. The Greeks have a lot of gods. A quick glance at httrp://www.theoi.com will show that. They might not have quite the same number of gods for unimaginitively specific things (I've read somewhere that there are multiple Roman deities to do with doors- one specifically of the hinges, one of the latches, one of door locks...then there is, of course, Ianus.) but there are a whole lot more than twelve- just counting the Muses alone, there are between nine and twenty-one, depending on who you ask.
There are the twelve "main" Olympians...but those don't even account for all of the Olympian gods, never mind all the rest.
