** A major part of the series is rooted in the misconception that the Roman gods are merely Greek gods who were adopted and tweaked slightly by Roman perceptions, ignoring the fact that the two pantheons originated separately and only became conflated later. The Roman gods were known to have taken on wildly different attributes compared to the familiar Greek ones -- Jupiter was a stone on which oaths were sworn, Venus was a patron of vineyards, Mars an agricultural deity... This is also why there exist gods like Janus, who's explicitly a Roman creation with no Greek counterpart.
%%** In addition, The Son of Neptune makes Neptune out to be hated by the Romans, with the full extent of their navy being a little dinghy. This could not be further from the truth -- Neptune was one of the Romans' most revered gods, right up there with Mars and Jupiter.
** The series portrays Minerva as having been devalued by the Romans into a minor deity of crafts and handiwork compared to her strategic and combat-oriented Greek counterpart. In actuality, Minerva was one of the most important members of the Roman pantheon, to the point where she was one of the gods who made up the Capitoline Triad central to public perception and worship. For reference, the only other members of said triad were Jupiter and Juno themselves, which goes to show how significant Minerva was to the culture to be in league with them.
