The Greek names of divinities, however, have been retained as conveying an essentially different idea from the Roman names usually employed. The dates in parentheses immediately following the names are those of the birth and death. When but one date is given it is that of the probable floruit. The era (B.C. or A.D.) has been appended wherever there could be any doubt. View more info
