Uranus & Coelus

This page says that Uranus is the roman god, and Coelus is its greek equivilant. On the actual page for uranus, however, the two names are switched. Several other websites that I've found also can't seem to agree on which is roman, and which is greek.

Uranus is the Latin spelling of the Greek Ouranus (also romanized I guess), the first ruler of the universe. Coelum is, I believe, the Latin (Roman) name for this deity. -- GWilliam68.185.42.76 02:02, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Common origin vs equvalencies

There needs to be a distinction made between gods who were later equated together (e.g. tinia = jupiter), and gods who have a common origin (e.g. adonis=atunis, zeus=jupiter=dyeus-pater). ~~~~ 2 July 2005 16:32 (UTC)

Uranos

Please, Uranus is latin form of greek Uranos. Many times romanisation takes place like this:

-os => -us

-f- => -ph-

and so on. Many classical latin names are bastardized is English (Saturnus => Saturn).

I made correction into the names that in their classical Greek/Latin formes. I used the correct Greek in Greek gods and Latin in Roman gods. I hate that someone corrects them into bastardised English formes. I know that in English antique Greek names are in Latin form and Latin names are like Marcus => Marc or Neptunus => Neptune. Please, leave the correct ones in this list. The links are fine and they work.
