Question: How would you go about writing a six page paper on a Roman god or goddess?Q? Ok, I'm in 8th grade taking a latin class in which we have to write a paper on a roman godess. I have Minerva, goddess of wisdom. it says we have to write about thier personal charcterisitics, the way they looked, thier powers, some myths surrounding them etc... we also have to answer the question of why the romans named them what they did & I also need to compare and contrast them with thier greek counterparts. Can someone help me with my project by giving me some helpful sites or information? I, so far, have not found anything very useful... \nThank you so much to whoever can help!!!

Answer: I would use a basic outline of:\nI. Introduction\nII. Appearance and Personality\nIII. Origin of name, and other names (most Roman God/desses had several names, since as the roman's empire spread the local god/desses tended to be intergrated withing the Roman God/desses)\nIII. Powers\nIV. Contrast with Greek counterparts\nV. Conclusion\n\nAnd I would interspert some myths throughout the essay, in points they would make sense, for example I would probably start out with a myth as an introduction. \n\nSome website references are in the source section
