There are lots of Greek and Roman gods. You can read about them in special stories called myths.
If you read the story of Jupiter and the story of Zeus, you will find the stories are very similar. This is because they are really the same people. Jupiter is the name given to the Roman god and Zeus is the name given to the Greek god.
There are other gods and goddesses that have Roman or Greek names. Here are some of them. Can you complete the table?
You may find some help at the library or even on a web site! Remember to look for 'myths'
