Dii Consentes.
The Dii Consentes were the twelve key-deities of the Roman Pantheon, and the reincarnation of the Greek Dodekatheon after their deaths in the Gigantomachy.
Overview[]
As stated before, the Dii Consentes are a pantheon of gods that are revealed to be the reincarnated Greek gods. Apollo was the only god who survived the Gigantomachy and is thus the same as he was before in both Greek and Roman traditions. While they are relatively more powerful than their previous incarnations in some cases, they are noticeably less prominent compared to their past selves.
Much like with the Greeks, Pluto, the god of the Underworld, is not part of the Twelve. Lesser gods like Proserpina, Bellona and Mors are also not part of the Dii Consentes. Three of the Dii Consentes formed the Capitoline Triad: Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva.
