==Identifications== {{More citations needed section|date=February 2023}} The following table is a list of [[Greek deities]] and [[Roman deities|Roman]], [[Etruscan deities|Etruscan]], [[Ancient Egyptian deities|Egyptian]], [[Semitic deities|Phoenician]], [[Ancient Iranian religion|Zoroastrian]], and [[Celtic deities|Celtic]] ones which the Greeks identified with their own, either explicitly in surviving works, or as supported by the analyses of modern scholars. These are not necessarily gods who share similar traits, and rarely do they share a common origin (for that, see [[Proto-Indo-European mythology|comparative Indo-European pantheons]]). {| class="wikitable sortable" !scope="col" | Greek !scope="col" | Roman !scope="col" | Etruscan !scope="col" | Egyptian !scope="col" | Phoenician !scope="col" | Zoroastrian !scope="col" | Celtic |- !scope="row" | [[Achilles]] | |[[List of Etruscan mythological figures#Achle|Achle]] | | | | |- !scope="row" | [[Adonis]] | |[[List of Etruscan mythological figures#Atunis|Atunis]] |[[Osiris]]{{sfn|Reed|p=411}} |[[Tammuz (deity)|Tammuz]] (Adōn) | | |- !scope="row" | [[Amphitrite]] |[[Salacia]] | | | | | |- !scope="row" | [[Anemoi]] |Venti | | | |[[Vayu-Vata]] | |- !scope="row" | [[Aphrodite]] |[[Venus (mythology)|Venus]]{{sfn|Grimal|loc=s.v.
