Greco-Roman Pantheon

Did I just hear a groan of discontent? You say that you know all about
the Greek and Roman gods, right? Wrong. What you know is probably
cursory -- or at least tainted by Earth's misinformation about the
deities of Aerth associated with this pantheon. This you will readily
ascertain for yourself as you peruse the listing.

Of course the material herein is by no means equal to that easily
found in a work addressing the Greco-Roman pantheon in detail; this is
an initial listing of no great depth. This is done for three reasons.
First, there isn't space in this magazine to cover the details.
Second, the lists are preliminary only and will be augmented and
embellished. Third, I haven't time to begin to manage a full treatment
now, for that must include all manner of other information on temples,
the ecclesiastical hierarchy, services, vestments, and so on.
Nonetheless, the listing is invaluable as it is, for many of the
states bordering or in the Mare Librum and Western Aeropa adhere to
this pantheon.

	There will most certainly not be room for the whole of the
material in this issue, so stay tuned, so to speak, and get it all in
time. Coming after this is completed will come the Atlantlan pantheon.
Frankly, I'm covering those two for good reason. There are two
intrepid writers now laboring to complete works to cover the pantheons
of Babylonian, Kalevala, Kelltic, Persian, Phonecian, and Slavic sort.
The City of Ascalon* setting and the Necropolis* campaign scenario
cover enough of the AEgyptian pantheon to serve well enough for a bit
in that regard... I think.

	But I've been wrong a time or two before, so I am now asking you,
Attentive Reader, to let me know of which specific pantheons and/or
deities you are most in need. I'll do my best to get it together and
squeeze it into these hallowed pages (pardon the pun).

	As you go into this material be sure to note the tension between
the Olympians and the Titans (Grecian)/Numinia (Roman) deities. Evil
isn't strong in this pantheon, but there's plenty of conflict
nonetheless!
