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!
