Chart: the differences between the Gods of Roman and Greek Mythology

This chart comes from diffen.com and has helped me draw some conclusions as to what the differences between the Greek and Roman myths were.

Description	Gods in Greek Mythology, i.e. the collection of stories or myths of the ancient Greeks about their gods, heroes and the natural world.	Gods in Roman mythology, i.e. the mythological beliefs about gods in the city of Ancient Rome.
Time period	Iliad distributed 700 years before the Roman civilization. No exact date for start of civilization.	Came 1000 years after the Greeks.
Literary source	Greek myths chronicled in the book the Illiad by Homer.	Roman myths chronicled in the book Aeneid.
Origin of mythology	Not known.	Many Roman gods borrowed from Greek mythology and myths of Roman creation from Greeks.
Nature of gods	Gods and goddesses based on human personality traits such as Love, Honor, Hatred, Dignity, as well as their roles in life determined by what they were god of, like: Zeus:Sky/weather, Hades: The underworld, Poseidon: Sea, Aquatics, etc.	Deities named after objects rather than human personality traits.
Afterlife	Importance of the physical life on earth rather than eventuality of the afterlife.	Mortals did good deeds on earth to be rewarded in the afterlife. They strove to gain their place among the gods in heaven in the afterlife.
Traits	As gods were based on human traits they each had characteristics that determined their actions.	Gods and goddesses not gender specific so their individual characteristics were not central to the myths.
Role of mortals	Deities were important for the progression of life but mortals were just as important as it was their contribution in society that in the end mattered.	Myths rooted in brave, heroic deeds of gods not mortals as mortal life was not important after death.
Actions of mortals and gods	Individualistic: actions of the individual were of more consequences than actions of the group.	Not individualistic.
Revered traits	Creativity more important than physical works. They revered the poet.	Focused on actions rather than words. They revered the warrior as sacred.
Physical forms	Greek gods had beautiful bodies where gorgeous muscles, eyes and hair would enhance their looks.	Gods did not have a physical appearance – represented only in the imagination of the people.
