Rome's Mythology - A Summary

From Rome's origins to the gods worshiped, mythology held a great impact on Rome. It's well known that Rome's mythology is greatly inspired by Greek mythology, as the two overlap in multiple stories. So much so that the Roman gods are counterparts to Greek gods, most differences are the art style and names. Earlier inspiration came from the Etruscan religion, however it is much less documented. Before it was classified as mythology, these stories were considered true. The gods were well worshiped and their stories and temples were spread throughout the empire.
