I Love Myths and Legends From All Cultures

It's definitions, because around the globe the different families of gods are so easily compared to others, and the names are just particular to the social anthropology of the people involved.

Classical hierarchies are so similar.. Zeus is Jupiter, Apollo is Apollo, but Ares is Mars, Artemis is Diana, and so on, Aphrodite is Venus.

The stories of the heroes of antiquity are also so similar. The only god who differs is Oðin, who actually was a Germanic wizard who do impressed his people they made him into their Jupiter.

@Ingwe how is he a god? He is an urban legend, big difference...jeez
@DianaGyana The [i]Lämmergeier[/i] is the bird attributed by legend to be the one which killed the playwright Æschylus.

Not an urban legend, an ancient attribution to a huge, strong bird.

Fits in with the category, the post, etc.
