Turn Roman Gods Into Greek!

Before the Roman empire developed, the light of the world was in Greece. Philosophy, natural sciences, literature, and even mythology - were all very developed in Greece early on. So it is little surprise that when the Romans came into power they used a lot of the knowledge first discovered by the Greeks, including a large part of their mythology. That is why the Roman and Greek gods are mostly the same, with different names. Can you find the Greek name for these Roman gods?

Not your forte?
Don’t worry, Greek and Roman mythology are wonderful subjects to rediscover. There’s just so much variety to it.

Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”
 
Not bad at all!
The Ancient Greeks, and the Roman Empire after them, had an absolutely enormous impact on culture and ideology in the Western world. The philosophical and political ideas of the Greeks had a particularly strong influence on the formation of the Roman Empire. But, of course, you already know that, since you definitely know quite a bit about the Greek influence on the Romans, especially when it comes to the gods! You've got a pretty good score here, but you can still make it better if you give it another go...
