What is the thoughtprocess I should go through when deciding wether I should use the Roman or the Greek name for their Gods?
Example:
>Owl of Minerva
Why did Hegel use Minerva not Athena?

Can I use a Roman name and later a Greek for a different mythological figure in the same writting?

Ask yourself, am I writing in Latin or Greek? If the answer is neither, you have to go back.

Use whichever one you like better, you fuck. Unless, of course, there's a contextual connection with either Rome or Greece, but I shouldn't have to point this out.
>Can I use a Roman name and later a Greek for a different mythological figure in the same writting?
Sure, also depends on the context. How can someone answer this question without being given any?

>>11364554
Bacchus is a much better name than Dionysus

You can't, the stupidity of your thread will haunt you for all eternity
