which of these pairs of gods are not equivalents in greek and roman mythology, hermes and mercury, apollo and vulcan, hades and pluto, zeus and jupiter

Answer 1

The pair that is not equivalent in Greek and Roman mythology is Apollo and Vulcan.

• Hermes (Greek) and Mercury (Roman) are equivalent, both being the messenger god.
• Hades (Greek) and Pluto (Roman) are also equivalents, both representing the god of the underworld.
• Zeus (Greek) and Jupiter (Roman) are equivalents, being the king of the gods.

Apollo, on the other hand, retains his name in both mythologies and is associated with the sun, music, prophecy, and healing, whereas Vulcan (Roman) is the god of fire and craftsmen, which is quite different.
