Princeps 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M. Porcius Cato 2 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ursus 6 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ursus 6 Report post 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.
