>I've seen this tendency for 'Mericans to have a strong bias for Roman
we identify with romans more for a few different reasons. the germanic tribes were latinized but never hellenized, also. many germanic tribes called upon Odin under the name Mercury; none of them called him under the name Hermes, maybe a few poets from the christian period. also if odin does not equate to mercury why did the anglo saxons transplant the name wednesday to replace dies mercurius?
