Well
Roman mithology is copied from the Greek, did you know?

Thanks.

I did, I do:
I've been reading it and lost the thread here now.

Not entirely.
There are aspects of Roman religion that are entirely Roman (or Italian, if you're being pedantic) in origin.

Yes, but the basis are Greek
And so, most of the constellations can be tracked back to Greek mithology, which is fantastic.

Those Gods did know how to rule the world, eh?

Again whilst we're (I'm) being pedantic
I think Arab astronomers got there first.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 19 May 2010, 9:57, Reply)

Which Ptolemy greatly appreciated and built on.

( Larry Vest One day at a time, sweet Jesus, FFS., Wed 19 May 2010, 9:59, Reply)

I don't think so
Arabs might have named the constellations first, and the Greeks based his naming on that. The whole thing about adding mithology on the names and the beautiful stories where Greek.

My apologies.
I had not realised you had conflated Mythology and Astronomy.

Mmmm...
That's what I was saying from the start (I see my spelling mistake now as well)

It's ok, I forgive you.

Leave it Monty.
Also, please remember fair Aberracion is a forrin so picking up spelling and grammar is not fair and beneath you.

What did I write wrong?
I'd like to know, so I don't do it again. Althoug I've been told thousands of times how to write phylosopy or philosophy or phylosophi or... I never know.

That too probably.

( girlinthehole, Wed 19 May 2010, 10:18, Reply)

Oh well, since you ask -
Yes, but the basis are is Greek:subject/verb agreement.
Where Greek - were Greek.
That's what I was saying from the start (I see my spelling mistake now as well): full stop required before first bracket, and also before the closing bracket. Or alternately one full stop after the closing bracket.
Not intended to be an inclusive list.
