Order check: for 'in some countries, Jupiter was replaced by Zeus, and Neptune by Poseidon', is the order definitely correct? From what I remember of history, first there was Greece with Zeus et cetera on Olympus, and then Rome grew and swallowed it and renamed its gods.

Since the previous paragraph says 'Rome was a country which housed countless gods', it seems to be consistent with describing how Rome took (and renamed) other gods. Thus, it would seem to make the most sense if it were Godou reflecting on how Zeus was replaced by Jupiter (and Poseidon by Neptune), but if the text actually definitely says it the other way round then it should of course be kept that way, though a translator's note at the bottom might help to eliminate similar confusion.

Thank you for your time, and thank you very very much for these translations! -180.43.16.157 21:33, 4 August 2012 (CDT)


- Ironically that's the order in the original. Page 214, first line. - Florza

- Neptune & Jupiter are the Roman versions of Poseidon and Zeus, which are the Greek ones. Rome was the main topic, hence the sentence referred to other cultures which had different names for the Roman gods - Poseidon and Zeus (Greek names).
