What was the Greek name of the god Janus?
There are lots of gods associated with the Sun, but they're not all the same. Janus has associations with the Sun, but *not* with the other Sun god Helios; Apollo is actually more relevant, but again these are separate deities we're discussing. The Greeks associated Janus with the Etruscan deity Ani.





From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janus


"In Roman mythology, Janus (or Ianus) was the god of gates, doors, doorways, beginnings and endings. His most prominent remnants in modern culture are his namesakes: the month of January, which begins the new year, and the janitor, who is a caretaker of doors and halls. Janus was usually depicted with two heads looking in opposite directions. According to a legend, he had received from the God Saturn, in reward for the hospitality received, the gift to see both future and past."

Reply:This information is easily found by simply googling it. And to be quite frank, it sounds like a homework question. Answers is not here to do your homework for you. But I will tell you that Janus is identified with the Greek god Helios. Now all you have to do is google Helios!
Reply:Helios is the Greek name of Janus. Helios was charged with the Sun.
Reply:Wikipedia has this one wrong, be ware. Janus doesn't have a Greek counter part; he is one of the few thing that the Romans didn't steal and actually make them selves.
Reply:There is no correspondant of Janus in Greek mythology. You should google it. It is not a well known god.
