I have noticed your last name Anthony, and I will say that I know of quite many here at home with the last name Hagen, which is norwegian for garden.

Tolkien was really inspired by norse mythology not only alitle but quite much of it, just to see that tree and all the worlds surrounding it one will have the clue to atleast 90% of all Fantasy literature
 
also the god Odin influenced both the Maia/Istari Gandalf or Olorin and is also part of the Santa Clause figure

So if they thought they were real, why do people not worship the any more and why are they now thought of as mythical (that includes the Roman/Greek/Norse deities as well)?

I'm genuinely curious.  I'm not having an epiphany (neither shall I be on January 6th).  I oddly find Theology interesting, even though I'm not remotely religious.
When Augustus Caesar came to power (or one of Julius' descendants), he practiced Christianity, and he outlawed all other religions; that is why Christianity has survived all of these years, and the Greek/Roman religions became part of history.


How can that be if Augustus reign ended in 14 after Christ? Confused
Good question.  Just something planted in my memory from a long, long, long time ago.  I know that all of the rulers following Augustus Caesar were called Augustus Caesar as their title, which is why I added the "or one of his descendants". 


Not actually. His line ended wih Nero Cesar. Augustus was merely a title you had as the emperor in the mid/late empire (begining a bit after the reigh of the Five Good Emperors).
This is true.  But Constantine was also known as Augustus Caesar, which is probably where my confusion comes into play.  As I remembered it, the Roman mythologies were disbanned by Augustus Caesar, it just happens that the Augustus Caesar in question was Constantine.  Wink


I think it was Theodosius Augustus who outlawed the Roman religion at the end of the fourth century. Ermm

EDIT: Yeah, it was Theodosius Augustus. Geek I feel like such a nerd now. . . Unhappy

First one right now.


Their second is my favourite.  That one features my ring tone.  Mmm.
