Whats the deal with the Roman names?

I’m constantly annoyed with this translation at having to translate the Roman names of gods and goddesses back into the proper Greek names, *as the author originally wrote*. For the record, here are the proper Greek names of gods, goddesses and heroes as they should be (as opposed to the translation) in alphabetical order: – Aesculapius => Asclepius (god) – Bacchus => Dionysus (god) – Ceres => Demeter (goddess) – Diana => Artemis (goddess) – Hercules => Heracles (hero) – Jove (Jupiter) => Zeus (god) – Juno => Hera (goddess) – Mercury => Hermes (god) – Minerva => Athena (goddess) – Neptune => Poseidon (god) – Saturn => Chronus (god) – Ulysses => Odysseus (hero) – Venus => Aphrodite (goddess) – Vulcan => Hephaestus (god) Feel free to add more if I’ve missed any.
