There are actually some little differences beyon djust names in the Greek and Roman mythologies. They are still pretty much the same, though. I would personally vastly prefer Greek over Roman.

Yes agree, Romans just ripped there gods from the Greeks.

Yeah well you must remember that the Romans were far more powerful militarily than the Greeks, who were never truly united under one leader. The Romans fit the conquesting concept better.

Greek Mythology can't be compared to the Roman one. Romans didn't have many mythological features and these that they had were taken by Greeks. Don't forget that the Word Mythology is a Greek Word. Mythos (Unreal/Imaginative Story that HAS Historical elements) + logos (Speak)
