The vision of the afterlife in Roman mythology is that mortals "earn a place among the gods" ("Greek Gods vs. Gods Romans"). The actions a mortal takes while still alive affect the outcome of his or her afterlife, which results in a place with the gods in heaven or a descent into hell. The Roman gods make mortals complacent with them as they maintain a granted mentality. However, the afterlife in Greek myths focuses primarily on “physical life on earth” (“Greek Gods vs. Roman Gods”). Instead of patronizing humans, the Greek gods reward and remember mortals for their virtuous actions (“Greek Gods vs. Roman Gods”). The focus of Greek myths solidifies on overcoming obstacles and achievements, rather than on achievements obtained in vain to receive pleasure.
