Everyday Latin October - Modern Culture

One of the games I played when I was younger was called Kid Icarus for the 3ds. This game had a goddess named Paulutena who is loosely based off of Athena. She wears ancient roman armor and is referred to as "The Goddess of Light" in the game. The game isn't based off a myth, and is an original story based off of certain aspects of greek and roman mythology. The inclusion of Roman culture makes perfect sense in a game that's goal is to sound like a myth when described to someone else. In a game that's mostly about your character defeating evil gods from greek and roman culture, it's cool to see someone on your side that's based off of a goddess from mythology.
