Kaeso again laughed this time at the senator who thought it was Blasphemy to think they are related in anyway. How wrong again was this senator to think otherwise. the gods are the same although a little different then their Greek counterparts. Kaseso stood up once again as he listened to the senators who supported the motion and who where against it.
Kaeso took a deep breath and then let it out slowly before he spoke " Blasphemy you say ?. Well then you must be speaking about yourself then. How dare you claim knowledge about the gods in the way you think you do. The priests speak about the gods being the same as their Greek counterparts.Yes they have different aspects then the Greek gods. But they are the same in many ways. in fact we worship the gods the same way the Greeks do. Our temples are like their temples, our sacrifices are the same as theirs. And yet you think our gods are not the same as their gods.
Is it not true that mars had a affair with venus ?. Just like their god ares had a affair with Aphrodite ?. Is it not Venus son Aeneas that founded our city and nation ?. so you see the greek gods and the roman gods are counterparts and are Equal in some ways. Not all ways as we know roman gods are far better then any other gods. But one can not say otherwise that the greek gods are not the same as our gods. our gods are the the counterpart of the greek gods."
Kaeso pointed at the senator that propose the motion" Fellow senators. Do you want this man who is blinded by greed. that is poorly skilled in the matter of the gods it so seems to lead the army of rome ?. granted his motion is valid but still. He goes to war to keep our allies divided and yet he claims the greek gods are not the same as our roman gods ?.
I could be wrong but i thought the greeks where our allies. And yet this senator says we went to war to divide the greeks so they will not reinforce Hannibal. How paranoid can this man be ?. He says the Macedonians started this war. But where is your proof senator that they did this ?. my fellow senators. war is not the answer to conflict. we could have settled it by diplomacy . And i speak of knowledge of the Macedonians because i was in their city before the legions came. Their was no child slaves in their markets like their are in ours. they seem to be peaceful people in my eyes at least.
I support the motion the senator bought up.
Kaseo sits down once again. wondering who this senator was that speaks about the gods like he knows them. Ha ! this senator is poorly educated and he will be best to be publicly embarrassed in front of Rome and the senate
