Question Why is there Greek and Roman Mythology if they have most of the same gods?
Answer Roman mythology was syncretized from Greek mythology.
AEneas was a Greek prince during the Trojan war, the war between two Greek city-states.
When AEneas left a defeated Troy he and his followers left Troy and traveled to Latium [Italy] where he settled and eventually his descendats founded Rome. Greek culture and religion thus traveled from Greece to Rome.
