Greek, or Roman?  There was actually quite a lot of differences between them, despite the fact that the Romans applied the names of their gods to the Greek myths (for what it's worth, the did the same to the Celtic gods, the germanic gods, the Persian gods, etc. too--although no doubt they saw the Greeks as much more kindred-type spirits than any of those groups.)I don't quite know what you mean.  From the very beginning, Greek mythological sources were pretty heavily represented in D&D; certainly as much so as Nordic sources.  You could very easily run a Greek mythology based campaign using just stuff in the basic monster manuals.  And for that matter, the war between the gods and primordials in the 4e implied setting is pretty much straight out of Greek mythology with the serial numbers filed off.I don't know of any entire RPG that's dedicated to Greek mythology, although it wouldn't surprise me to find out that there is one.  For that matter, I don't know of one that does that for nordic mythology, although I seem to recall hearing of a Swedish language RPG that was heavily Nordic mythology focused (which shouldn't exactly be surprising.)</blockquote>
