Greek and Roman mythology together form the mythological foundation of classical Western culture. While Greek mythology developed earlier and is more imaginative and philosophical, Roman mythology largely adopted Greek myths and reshaped them to reflect Roman values such as duty, order, patriotism, and political power. Despite sharing many gods and stories, the two traditions differ in emphasis, tone, and purpose.
