The article investigates the issue of the relationship between Greek and Roman gods through the analysis of a specific case study: the divine configurations of "Pity", namely Eleos and Clementia. In the first part the two divinities, identified by ancient authors as well as by modern scholars, are distinguished on the basis of the skeins of relations they produce. In the second part the anthropological category of “indigenization” is used to interpret the way in which the Greeks considered the gods of the Romans in the imperial age.

Abstract

The article investigates the issue of the relationship between Greek and Roman gods through the analysis of a specific case study: the divine configurations of "Pity", namely Eleos and Clementia. In the first part the two divinities, identified by ancient authors as well as by modern scholars, are distinguished on the basis of the skeins of relations they produce. In the second part the anthropological category of “indigenization” is used to interpret the way in which the Greeks considered the gods of the Romans in the imperial age.
