Just love my Greek/Roman Gods! Was a little surprised to read here that so many of them first appeared in ‘Thor’ as far back as the ‘Journey into Mystery’ days! Interesting! I would prefer it, however, if these deities would just stick with their Roman appellations! For instance- “Hercules” and “Mars” and “Venus” just sounds cooler to the ear than “Herakles”, or “Ares”, or “Aphrodite”- knowhutimean-?? In the first three issues of ‘The Champions’ from 1975-76, which dealt with these deities, most of them showed up across the course of the trilogy, but they collectively went by a weird cross-fusion of their various Greek and Roman names! I’m just weird! Pick either one version or the other, and STICK WITH IT!!! Preferably the Roman names! I have spoken!
