Preller, R. M., i. 1 and 2, points out that Italian mythology is "quite different" from the Greek; that it is only in "a certain sense" that there can be said to be a Roman mythology; that it is a very different thing from Greek, Hindoo, Persian, Teutonic, and Scandinavian mythology; that the Romans had not advanced far in personifying and individualising their gods, and consequently could not develop much mythology. Finally, Italian religion was "far less widely removed" from the primitive Aryan belief than Greek religion and mythology were.
