Narrator: In Roman mythology and Greek mythology are both known in literature. The only difference is with their names like Neptune in Romanian while Poseidon in Greeks and both of them is the god of the sea or water. I understand if more of us are interested with Greek mythology rather than the Roman’s. Well, Roman mythology is incredibly constructed with class too. But then, maybe we are more familiar with Greek mythology since it had been featured not only on books but on movies too. The sequences are dominantly exciting and entertaining.
