What was the greco-roman religion?
The term Greco-Roman refers to art, not religion. Although Roman religion was influenced by Greek religion, unlike the case of art, these two religions remained distinct. Greek influence on Roman religion started very early. Hercules was the Latin name for the mythological Greek hero Heracles. The Romans said that he performed one of his twelve labours in Rome and was a Roman god. Several Greek gods were adopted and were added to the Roman gods. In the 6th century BC, the seventh and last king of Rome was said to have bought the Sibylline Books, a collection of Greek oracular pronouncements, from the Sibyls of Cumae (near Naples), the northernmost of the Greek colonies (settlements) of southern Italy. The Sibyls were oracles which had temples around the Greek world. The oracle of Delphi was one of them. The Romans built a temple in honour to the Dioscuri, the two Greek divine twins, Castor and Pollux, in 495 BC. Apollo was adopted from Cumae as the god of healing and the temple of Apollo was built in 432 BC. Apollo was the god of the Sibyls. Aesculapius, the god of medicine was adopted in 293 BC. Again on the advice of the Sibyls, the Romans adopted Cybele as they were told that if they did this they would win the Second Punic War (218-202 BC). The Romans called her Magna mater (the Great Mother). Bacchus (the god of the grape harvest, winemaking and wine and ritual madness and ecstasy) was originally the Greek god Dionysus. The Romans also adopted many Greek myths and at one point they linked their gods to Greek ones.
How did the Greeks influence roman religious pratices?
Hercules was the Latin name for the mythological Greek hero Heracles. The Romans said that he performed one of his twelve labours in Rome. In Roman religion he was deified. The seventh and last king of Rome was said to have bought the Sibylline Books, a collection of Greek oracular pronouncements, from the Sibyls of Cumae (near Naples), the northernmost of the Greek colonies (settlements) of southern Italy. The Sibyls were oracles which had temples around the Greek world. The oracle of Delphi was one of them. The Romans built a temple in honour to the Dioscuri, the two Greek divine twins, Castor and Pollux, in gratitude for their help in winning the Battle of Lake Regillus (495 BC). Their cult came to Rome from Magna Graecia via the Latin city of Tibur. Libera was an agricultural goddess who may have originated from the Greeks of Magna Graecia (the Greeks of southern Italy). The cult of the plebeian or Aventine Triad was said to have been established in 493 BC during a famine on advice of the Sibyls. This was the triad of Ceres, Liber and Libera. A temple in their honour was built on the Aventine Hill. Later accounts describe the temple and rites as "Greek" in style. Even though Ceres was originally Roman, she was later paired with her daughter Proserpina (also a Roman goddess) in what Romans described as "the Greek rites of Ceres". In 432 BC Apollo, a Greek god, was adopted from Cumae as the god of healing and the temple of Apollo was built. Apollo was the god of the Sibyls. In 293 BC the worship of Aesculapius, the god of medicine was brought to the island of Tiber. Again on the advice of the Sibyls, the Romans adopted Cybele as they were told that if they did this they would win the Second Punic War (218-202 BC). The Romans called her Magna mater (the Great Mother). She was a mother goddess who was originally from Phrygia, in central Turkey. Her cult spread to parts of Greece. Bacchus (the god of the grape harvest, winemaking and wine and ritual madness and ecstasy) was originally the Greek god Dionysus. His cult, which the Romans called the Bacchanalia, spread in southern Italy. This was a frenzied festival which was banned in 186 BC by the Roman senate because, it was claimed, it led to all kinds of crimes and political conspiracies. Later, the Romans equated most of their gods to Greek gods and adopted the myths associated with the Greek gods
