Say “Love,” “Thunder,” and “Wisdom” in Roman Myth Words
The ancient Romans loved stories about powerful gods and big ideas. These ideas like love, thunder, and wisdom had names that became words in Latin, and many are still around today!
What Do These Powerful Words Mean?
- Love = Amor (Also the name of Cupid—god of love!)
- Thunder = Tonitrus (Jupiter was the god of thunder)
- Wisdom = Sapientia (Minerva was the goddess of wisdom)
These words help kids explore deep meanings and cool history—all through fun language learning.
