It has been thought desirable in these pages to use the Latin names of the Homeric deities and heroes, as more familiar to English ears. As, however, most modern translators have followed Homer's Greek nomenclature, it may be convenient here to give both.
| Zeus | Jupiter. | |
| Herè | Juno. | |
| Arēs | Mars. | |
| Poseidōn | Neptune. | |
| Pallas Athenè | Minerva. | |
| Aphroditè | Venus. | |
| Hephaistos | Vulcan. | |
| Hermes | Mercury. | |
| Artemis | Diana. | |
| Odysseus | Ulysses. | |
| Aias | Ajax. | |
The passages quoted, unless otherwise specified, are from the admirable translation of Mr Worsley.
