Greek and Roman Names

As I got into Ovid, I quickly realized that the names Ovid uses in his stories for mythological characters were unfamiliar since they are different then the ones we have been using in our class discussions. This is because Ovid is a Roman writer. The Romans adopted many of the legends of Greek mythology, adapting them to a Latin equivalent. Here you can find a list of the most well-known parallels and their descriptions:
