Word Chain - Greek and Roman Mythology

Plus, Uranus is Greek, not Roman. The Roman name is Caelus.

Uranus is Jupiter's grandfather

The name was suggested by a German fellow, and in German, the U is pronounced like Ou. Why that was the variant to sustain? Good question. It problably just made more sense then 'George' or 'Herschel', which were other suggestions at the time.

The Sabines were a real neighboring tribe of the Romans, so their inclusion in the list seems odd to me too.

If memory serves, much of Roman history before the Gallic sack in the 4th century B.C. has no historical evidence because the records were destroyed. So really, much of early Roman history is handed down from myths, the abduction of the Sabine Woman included.

Kronos (not Chronos, the personification of time. Different guy altogether) is Zeus’s father in Greek mythology. Saturn is the Roman equivalent of Kronos, so you’d say that instead of Kronos when asked about Jupiter, as opposed to Zeus.

yes

It depends on the source you're looking at. Sometimes Artemis does it, but more often Zeus does (though usually at Artemis' request). His death isn't consistent either: sometimes the scorpion is sent by Gaia (because Orion claimed he could kill any animal of the earth), sometimes it was sent by Apollo (because he was jealous that Orion had gained Artemis' favor), and sometimes it was sent by Artemis herself (because Orion was too boastful about his hunting ability.) At least one version omits the scorpion entirely, and has Apollo tricking Artemis into shooting Orion ("Bet you can't hit that thing out there in the water!")
