Romans largely adopted every god they came in contact with, or incorporated them into their existing pantheon for efficiency sake, because they believed that the blessings of all gods would help them maintain their empire. Probably a wise policy, considering it meant that the locals could keep their religions as long as they weren't too exclusive (cough cough, Judea).
nessesaryschoolthing the most worshipped divinity in Rome was Sol Invictvs, a Persian God
#SyncretismForTheWin ;)
Thank you for the new word.
THE PEOPLES FRONT OF JUDEA WANTS TO KNOW YOU'RE LOCATION
Welcome to religion.
That time Hercules visits Germany and the locals think he's Thor... I love these cross overs
Oh my Woden is that Thor???
Thor thunder god..hercules is the son of Zeus..known for thunderbolts
WTF IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE FAT THOR
Now wield lighting!
It makes sense when you look at the similarities... Also Roman's where heavily in Germania during a period of time.
Rome: Hey can I copy your religion?
Greece: Sure, just change it a little bit so that no one notices.
Greece: i am copying your god's. India:ok i have no problem.
@ChaoticTryhards actually, there’s a whole myth of the god Dionysus invading India and kicking ass
@@competativeprogramming7480 that didn't work out well Greek gods are 95% original beacause human mind without any knowledge will obviously think the same reason for everything
@@heathenpride7931 yeah didnt he want to spread wine around the world or something
@@competativeprogramming7480 lol indians
Gaia (Terra) and Uranus (Cælus) are Primordial Gods, *not* Titans, Primordial Gods were/are the first generation of Gods, Titans are the second, and Olympian Gods, are the third. Also note that most Primordial Gods are the personification of concepts, such as Chronos *is* time, and Nix *is* darkness.
I for a long time thought Gaia and Uranus were titans because of games like Age of Mythology and God of War, but now I know that they were primordial gods.
cool
nix is night. erebos is darkness.
Chronos wasn’t a Primordial God. Chronos was a titan and the one to dethrone his father, Uranus, upon his mothers, Gaia, request.
its Nyx not Nix, and also Nyx is night not darkness
"See you in the Punic Wars"
LMFAO XD
Achillez for whtever reason , i love tht word PUNIC or i should say words, PUNIC WARS. It always sounded Epic to me
Hey that is good
Thats called "foreshadowing"😂😂😂

Lmao XD 😂
The Romans, when they came into contact with the Greeks, began equating their own gods to the Greek gods when they served the same function and would adapt elements from Greek mythology to "supplement" their own. However most Roman gods were already around prior to the contact with the Greeks. The idea that Romans "ripped off" Greek religion is a bit of a popular misconception.
Most Roman deities were actually adapted from the Etruscans or neighbouring Italian tribes. The gods and religion of early Iron Age Italy likely shared a common ancestor with those of the Greeks (likely from a Proto-Indo-European people ancestral to both the Greeks and Italians from before they diverged and settled into their respective landmasses), hence the similarities.
The Romans eventually copied the Greek myths and the Greek "family tree of the gods" and retroactively applied them to their own equivalents of those gods. Though that said those equivalents weren't always 100% exactly and the Romans didn't necessarily copy Greek elements if they weren't "compatible".
The Romans also eventually imported foreign gods that they had no equivalent of and just added them to their existing Pantheon, such as Isis or Cybele, some of which became more popular among the Romans than most of their 'native' gods.
Evgenios Megas You're right, the Etruscans are unrelated. Though the Etruscans didn't inhabit most of Italy. The Latins, Faliscans and various Sabellics do share a reasonably close common prehistoric ancestor with the Greeks, as do the Celts but slightly more distantly.
The Etruscans, being surrounded by Indo-Europeans on all sides, did undergo their own process of assimilating and adapting elements from Indo-European religion, making things even more complicated.
Though, yes, some originally non-Indo-European elements likely bled through into Roman religion through the Etruscans.
How many times must people be told cultural sharing between groups isn't ripping something off lmao its just being efficient taking what cultural elements work and leaving the rest
ik this was 4 years ago, but literally writing about Roman and Greek gods and this comment legit helped me, especially with Iris and how they just incorporated other religions gods. thx
lol hi guys remeber this videoooo?
I Mean Roman Are descended From Trojan People, Of Course no Wonder Why Roman Had same Gods as Greeks
didn't the romans have issues with copyrights? :P
john pardon yeah
nope they simply killed those who spoke out
CommanderM117 but why smmfh it's gonna catch up with them , well the only way is to have a real live greek show up and go to court about it but that's another story on if and would if you feel me
john pardon thats greek mythology you idiot
GEO ddfc my bad but yes I agree and sense we're on that topic I can't say to much of what I know , but that's soon coming to an end
Roman mythology is great but make a video on Greek mythology plzzzz...
I am South Italian, and I honestly can relate to the Greek mythology more!
It's that time of the decade again, Suibhne has uploaded a new video.
Holy crap talk about the frequency illusion; I was watching your channel today and was wondering when you folks would upload. Glad your back!
Abyssinia Empire I did the same thing and was happily surprised when I saw this video.
Here's hoping you'll get back to regular uploading.
Wow you guys watch mythology too!
@@catthomas3097 Anything Suibhne
publishes, I watch.
@@HistoryMarche Ooooooohhhhh, I just found you guys before you were big! I feel like I've time traveled. I feel...old...
I wouldn't mind you doing more of this type of thing. Greek mythology is pretty cool. Good video!
Romulus had already begun the foundation of Rome when his brother was killed. Romulus made a rule that no one vault the wall and Remus, laughing, jumped it. Thereafter he was killed by either a guard enforcing the rule or by Romulus himself, depending on the source.
GREECE: Guys help, theres another artist who stole my oc's and is posting them on their deviantart account
ROME: *gets a sponsorship Gfuel where they name their drinks after his characters*
The first king of Rome was Romulus, but the last emperor of western Roman empire was also Romulus.
Romulus Augustulus. So the first and last emperor was also an Augustus :)
Can you do a one about slavic mythology few care about it
Bears and vodka made a baby
Yes please do this
100 LIKES GODS YES EDEN
Few care about them probably because there is little written about them. As soon as Poles got Christianized, and the Russians turned to orthodoxy - all Slavic religion was dead.
I would much rather hear about the baltic religion, as it survived up to the 16th century, and quite a bit is written about it.
@@kestutisvaiciunas8663 Good point, Baltic pagans were the last to practice an Indo-European religion in Europe. As Baltic-Slavic languages are closely related, I'm sure their beliefs were pretty similar
This was a really good summary. It bears mentioning though that the Latins (ancestors of the Romans) already had their own gods, who were based on the same ancient Indo-European gods as the Greek gods. For instance, Jupiter ("Ios Pater") and Zeus "Zeus Patros") are both based on the Into-European sky father, Dyaus Pitr. They simply adopted the Greek myths about their gods after making contact with their Greek "cousins".
History of England is a necessity for your channel
Actually, Virgil was a fan of Augustus since he spared him during his reorginization of the empire. A huge part of the Aeneid is Virgil spouting propaganda about how great Augustus was, like when he's depicted standing amongst the gods at the battle of Actium on Aeneas' shield
Good job for another video. Btw, please don't forget on Poland part 3. Thanks.
Yes!!! I'm so happy to see that new video notification. And I love Greek mythology hell yes :)
Glad to see your videos again! amazing video as always
I love your art style so much.
Please upload more regularly, your videos are amazing!
Many days of the week in Italy are dedicated to Roman Gods. Tuesday is MarsDay (Martedì), wednesday is MercuryDay (Mercoledì), thursday is JupiterDay (Giovedì) and Friday is VenusDay (Venerdì). The others have different inspirations. Monday is the "Day of the Moon" (Lunedì). Saturday is not Saturday but Sabato, inspired by the Shabbat. Sunday is "The day of the Lord" (Domenica).
An awesome and informative video, keep up the good work! :)
“Preoccupied with Caesar killing” its only been 2,064 years since his death, too soon to be making that joke.
2:04 if I’m not mistaken, I think it would’ve been spoken with a glide sound, like “wulcan”, since V was both a consonant and semivowel in Latin
I don't know how you do it, but you somehow manage to make me have interrest in history. Me. History. I really love your work and hope you have a nice weekend. ^^
I love this channel so much! But I wish you posted more often
Finally a new video! Btw, make part 3 of history of polen
Your Typical Pinoy yes?
Where is part 3 of Poland
Sven Štajduhar Are you vietnamese??

Such amazing content. Keep up the good work.
Sick video! This has always interested me.
Great video, you should try make some more videos about Mythology
Great video once again👌🏻👌🏻🔥
Oh and could you do part 3 of poland
suibhne you should do Irish mythology, it's incredibly fascinating and understated in poplar culture
It makes me laugh how right after setting up a patreon, this guy vanished for a couple months.
he stops making videos for long periods from time to time but yeah its been 4 months
In fact, the Romans know very well that their distant roots were from the Aegean earth. It is no coincidence that the Romans generally copied the Greeks. Virgil writes. "There is a place that the Greeks call it" Esperia ". It is an ancient fertile land. The men of King Oinotra colonized it. The later men named this country, Italy, from the name of the King Italian. Those princes were the descendants of our generation ... ". Strabo also mentions that Roman writer Koilio accepts that Rome is "Greek is a building" and many more that want more profound research. You see my friends there is a long and long-lasting cultural and historical connection between Greece and the Italian peninsula that you are losing in the depths of the centuries. In short, "Una razza una faccia" 😁
But the Roman Gods were more masculine
Johan Igoa stuff and nonsense. What is so manly about Pomona and Ceres? If anything, it is quite plain that Roman Gods were rather modest and introvert compared with their Greek counterpart who were rather presumptuous and extraverted.
Well, I disagree. The Early Italian Civilizations developed around the same time as the Greeks. The Greeks began building colonies in Italy around the same time the Etrsucans, Ligurians, Early Venetians, Messapians, Oscans, Umbrians and Early Sicilians inhabited Italy. The fact that they mentioned the Trojans migrating to Italy was just mythology, that was written after the formation of the Roman Empire, and the Punic Wars. Also, after looking at a map circa 500-400 BC, you will see that the northernmost Greek settlement in Italy was around Naples. The Romans most likely guessed their ancestry in the book (Forgot what it was called), as the Romans a century or two before destroyed almost all of the Etrsucan scriptures, and in turn forgot their true ancestors. I'm not trying to start an argument, but I simply disagree with you.
You know about the Tyrrhenians? Pelasgians?
And secondly, I am referring to mythology for an ancient commemoration when the Aegean was still land and at this moment we are talking there are many buried cities in the water. Greek culture is the final result, the final product of all these cultures that sprang into the Aegean earth. Dionysios the Alikarnasses (A "Introduction) characterizes the Etruscan Greeks, who, along with the Lycians and other Pelasgians, settled in Italy. He himself, like Diodorus Sikeliotis, Thucydides and Strabo, asserts that the Tyrrhenians (Etruscans) were the ancient Greeks of the Tyrsians, who from the Tursa of Asia Minor and other parts of the Aegean area fell to Italy along with other Pelasgians.
I do not say that, the ancient writers say. This. Good luck.
@@Epicurus941 You btw, are glossing over the fact that even if the romans were in fact a greek colony (which there is no proof of outside legends. I should point out that initial aristocracy spoke greek and Etruscan and not latin. But that wasn't uncommon), Romans slowly turned away from Greece as they went further north and south of Italy, and seeing how culture departed away from their own and how they were more latin than anything. By the time of the punic wars, Rome was fully Latin and greek became insignificant in bureaucracy, Greek would come back in popularity after the conquest of Greece for foreign easter bureaucracy (as usual for the Romans). Sulla would bring the border of Italy up to Rome, caesar as consul up to Florentia and tyrrean islands, and finally Augustus up to Switzerland (Helvetia) and Dalmatia (more changes would be made in the future). The reason why romans initially saw themselves as Greek is because they came to hate the Etruscans, but as the unification of Italy came about the Romans became more distant from the Greeks and more Italian as the differences between Romans and other Italics became noticeably lesser than the actual Hellenistic greeks (Rome initial contact with hellenist kingdoms was the other Italian colonies. The difference wasn't noticeable yet).
WE WANT ANIMATED HISTORY OF GREECE!!!
Mr.Z a alternate history youtuber had made a few videos depicting alternate scenarios relating to Rome such as developing steam powered vehicles, using gunpowder (which they may have gotten from China since they knew of each other and traded) which would also led to the discovery of the Americas beating Columbus by a few millennia and building a world empire which will result in them eventually travel into space to expanded even beyond the stars to the very planets that they named their gods after
Hey, you guys did a great job with this video! That you so much!
Neat video! Thanks for uploading!
Where is poland part 3?
What about the eagle counting competition between Romulus and Remus? That is after all how the eagle became a symbol of Rome equal to that of the wolf...
Man, your channrl is amazing!
Enjoyed it. Thank you. Good synopsis.
Norse mythology next? :)
Or maybe Animated History of Sweden?
Olle Rydén Yes!
Virgil did like Augustus. Virgil supported Augustus's policies and was even very good friends with him. Aeneas is a personification of Augustus as Virgil saw him
Romans: Hey! Can I cope your homework? (mythology)
Greeks: Alright, man. But change it up so it doesn’t look too obvious
Romans:
thank you for this video very good and informative
OMG you left out Diana-Artemis. Get the pitchforks guys!!!
Great video though xD
Time to Hunt them down.
You should do more mythology
The intro was dope
I really enjoyed this
Ah so Romulus built the colosseum, eh?
A little artistic freedom here I get it.
Roman mythology is Greek mythology with different names.
Barry Bend it's the same names translated in Latin
Barry Bend ikr be real Romans live today they age get sick and die greeks didn't do such a thing lol
Barry Bend nope they have some gods of their own like janus and bellona
They had there own pantheon. But contact with Greek colonists in the south of the peninsula (primarily Taruntium) would lead first the Etruscans, and next the Latins to equate there own gods as being either the equals, or in some cases even the same as there Hellenistic counterparts. The Etruscans loved doing this, and since the Romans had a strange inferiority complex when it came to those Northern Italian city states, they adopted many of the same aspects in there native Latin gods.
@@iamveryhungry8923 Do you mind making a list of Roman Gods and Goddesses that didn't originate from Greek mythology please?
Thank you for briefing this mythology 😮
Bravo! Great job!
History of Poland part 3
Great video, but I don't know how can they travel without arms and legs.
Maybe the creator is like me he can’t draw arms or legs 😂
OMG i'm so happy you uploaded 😀😀😀
Awesome video. Liked and subscribed! A few of the pronunciations bothered me a bit, but superb content!! 👌
When will Poland part 3 will come??
Aeneas did not found Alba Longa. Aeneas founded Lavinium. There were also some other minor mistakes in this video but overall it was good.
Jason Huang what do you think about Saturn drawing the Sun in the chariot? I thought he isn't a solar God, why it is said so
what a gem of a channel +sub
this is a very good inspirational video
i agree
I can never remember if suihne lives in Ireland or Australia, but I know it’s one of them, because he only uploads in the dead of night where I live
As an Australian, I can safely say that his accent is 100% Australian.
Nick C They're are Irish as they said they were terribly biased in the history of Ireland video sayig they are from there.
Aussie accent
Reman empire > roman empire
Preußisch Jäger reman empire is best
Agreed
hehe I was wondering if this comment would get many upvotes
Ramen > Reman
Prussia > Reman empire
How do you make these!! They are so good!
I just discovered this channel and I love it 👏
Overall, this is a really awesome video and condenses a lot of the mythos down into a manageable piece - a very rare thing when doing so from the Roman perspective! I will give one note though, Uranus and Gaia are only the Greek names for the pair of deities you display in the grandparent generation. However, to the Romans they were known as Caelus and Terra or Tellus Mater respectively and were classed as Primordial Deities rather than Titans along with multiple others of the generation or generations before the Titans - the parentage and familial lines of these beings gets pretty fuzzy in comparison to that of the later ones in both the Roman and Greek variations. Other than that, very well done!!
Its time for GREEK HISTORY
Saturn's day is the best day of the week.
Amazing i love mythology, good job!
Could you do history of denmark?
Can you do a video about Norse/ Viking Mythology please?
You have the best historie video's on RUclips. I would like to see a video about the Netherlands (maybe the voc or the 80 years war against spain)
Damn that video was nice!
greek mythology next!
2:07 the odd one out!!!
Very well done!
A very great video. Do you have the History of Italy?
The actual name of Hades in Greek is "Πλούτωνας" which sounds like "Plutonas" , Hades was the Underworld that he ruled over.
Also the Greek name for Hephaestus is Ἥφαιστος" which also sounds like "ηφαίστειο" which means volcano.
What abaut history of Poland?
Erm... he has -.- check his videos...
Still need part three
*You forgot Poland!*
(Oh, and I am kind of amazed that a user named "Communism will rise!" wants the history of Poland after what we have done to you in '20 and '89...)
This is hilarious!
I was reading that Neptune was originally just a god of rivers, but when being associated with Poseidon, became a god of the oceans. It was much like that also with some others.
Your videos are awesome..!! If possible, make those on China, Japan, Korean Penninsula and Austria..!!
Well, besides myself......applause......I...really love Janus, the 2 faced god of Doorways.....and janitors. He's also probably the most uniquely Roman god.
And now i want a Norse mythology
Great video, Pls make one about Sweden next.
his intro was funky when the intro was slowly coming in it started and when it started using da pictures it reset
Do Norse Mythology next!
I can explain it in 3 words and they are:
Basically greek mythology
Nice video! 👍🏻
Its been Ages good vid
Animated history of Poland part 3?
WHERE IS ANIMATED HISTORY OF POLAND PART3?!?!?!11!?!?1!
Very nice video. I didn't know the ethymology of Monaco or that part of Aeneas's wife's forshadowing
My teacher, Ms Powditch told me to watch this video for activity task based on ancient rome!
Nice!
To short though!
I thought Romulus killed Remus after he jumped over his brothers wall?
I think there are 3 completely different reasons Remus was killed, and in every of those there are uncountable variations.
