1. Zeus:

Answer: Jupiter

The greatest of the Gods and armed with a thunderbolt, he is married to Hera but famous for his affairs.

2. Poseidon:

Answer: Neptune

God of the sea, and brother to Zeus. He once became besotted with Demeter, and she, not being too interested, sent him off to make her the most beautiful animal ever. After many experiments, he came up with the first ever horse, but by then he'd lost interest in her.

3. Persephone:

Answer: Proserpina

Daughter of Zeus and Demeter, she was snatched away by Hades, who made her queen of the Underworld.

4. Theseus:

Answer: none

He, of course, got rid of the nasty old minotaur. No Roman version of Theseus.

5. Pan:

Answer: Faunus

The God of wild places, he is known for being a talented musician, particularly with the pipes.

6. Hermes:

Answer: Mercury

7. Heracles:

Answer: Hercules

The greatest of all the Greek heroes.

8. Hera:

The Goddess of marriage and childbirth. Zeus married her through trickery after she rejected him, by turning himself into a dove, and as she held him to her breast he went back to his normal form and raped her. To hide her shame, she consented to marry him.

9. Hephaestus:

Answer: Vulcan

God of the forge, and Aphrodite's husband, he is known for being physically unattractive, although amiable and peace-loving.

Answer: Dis

Brother to Zeus and God of the Underworld, he rarely leaves there. Known for being callous and lacking in mercy, he's keen to increase his already considerable riches.

The God of love and son of Aphrodite.

12. Dionysus:

Answer: Bacchus

The God of wine and ecstasy.

13. Athena:

Answer: Minerva

The virgin Goddess of wisdom and the daughter of Zeus, who liked her enough to let her use his thunderbolt.
She is known her courage and skill in battle.

14. Ares:

Answer: Mars

The God of war, bloodthirsty and cruel, though a coward at heart.

15. Aphrodite:

Answer: Venus

The Goddess of love, and on the odd occasion that her natural beauty and charm doesn't get her what she wants, she possesses a girdle that magically compels anyone she chooses to desire her.
