Roman Mythology In ancient Rome everything had a spirit in charge of it. Every house had a household god, it kept things going smoothly. Some people decorated their house in honor of the god and some decorated the kitchen. They eat dinner in honor of the god there. Every time Roman’s heard a myth about a god or goddess, if they liked it, they adopted it! Usually if they adopted it the god or goddess they changed its name.

Jupiter is king of the gods and Juno his wife is queen of gods. Gorgon is the monster that can turn you into stone. Cerberus is the dog of the underworld. Victoria is the goddess of victory. Cupid is the very famous god of love. Hercules is also the famous god of strength.

Most of the gods and goddesses came from the Greek mythology. When Romans heard about the Greek mythology they adopted them all. Romans just could not get enough gods or goddesses. Later on all of it changed to Christian mythology.
