Princeps Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Who is your favourite Roman God or Godsess? I'd have to go for Fortuna, Goddess of luck. Second would be Artemis (Greek) Goddess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Porcius Cato Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Who was it who said "We have built a thousand shrines to Fortune but none to Reason"? In any case, there was a temple once built to "Common Sense", so I guess I'd worship her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost_Warrior Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 God: Jupiter Goddess: Athena/Minerva (I know the two are often equated...not sure if they are one in the same honestly I think Athena was strictly Greek and Minerva was Roman) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursus Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Mercury. God of travel, commerce, communication and prosperity. If there is a pagan god suited for our high tech, commercial modern times, it would be he. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pantagathus Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Mercury. God of travel, commerce, communication and prosperity. If there is a pagan god suited for our high tech, commercial modern times, it would be he. I had a wretched time getting to a 8:05am flight last Friday until I remembered I had forgotten pay respects to Mercurius before starting out. Once a suitable libation was vowed things got easier, in fact once I was on the plane I was pulled out of coach and upgraded to First Class... As has been mentioned before, I'm with Ursus: Hermes/Mercury is my favorite. It's funny. I used to be more of a soft polytheist who treated most Greco-Roman gods interchangeably. I'm tending away from that more an more. So my favorite Roman god is the often overlooked Portunes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursus Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Goddess: Athena/Minerva (I know the two are often equated...not sure if they are one in the same honestly I think Athena was strictly Greek and Minerva was Roman) They are pretty similar. The main thing is that Minerva is much less the war goddess than Athene. The Romans had already a war goddess in Bellona, not to mention a war god in the form of Mars.

FLavius Valerius Constantinus Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Minerva to the Romans was more regarded with education and good healthy pregnancies/births. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
