| @Strattosphere. No, in this case Latinization means conversion into the Latin alphabet, which is what we use today for English. The Romans had names for the Greek gods, which were different than their own pantheon, which didn't overlap in many areas. For example, the Greeks called her Atháná, but it was Latinized by the Romans to Athena. No one would say that Athena is a Roman goddess because it is often written in English by its Latinized spelling. So, when the Romans referred to Uranus, it was there name for the Greek god. They had their own god named Caelus, as their equivalent of Uranus, who was the father of Saturn (who would be Cronus in Greek). |
