Mercury has a significant variety of features more greatly appreciated from recent observations, including ridges, valleys, plains, escarpments, and mountainous areas. One feature of interest is Apollodorus crater with an unusual radiating spider-like pattern.
Surface composition is believed to be mostly silicates but to be poorer or lower in metal content (iron, titanium etc.) than other rocky planets.

A pantheon was a temple dedicated to all gods, unlike other temples which were dedicated to one or two to three gods. Pantheon is a Greek word which means "of/for all gods" or "common to all gods" by combining the words pan (all) and theoios "(of or for the gods).
There were several pantheons around the Roman Empire. The most famous of is the one in Rome. The first building was built by Marcus Agrippa in 27 BC. It burned in 80 AD and was rebuilt by the emperor Domitian. It burn again and was rebuilt the emperor Trajan's architect Apollodorus of Damascus. The emperor Hadrian had it repaired again after yet another fire in 126 AD. However, it is now thought that the current building was actually manly the work of Apollodorus of Damascus. Agrippa's first design was rectangular, like most of the Roman temples. A rotunda with a dome was built at its back, in the place where there was a circular square. An inscription which said that Agrippa built the temple was retained on its frieze.
The Pantheon in Rome is well preserved because it was converted into a Catholic church. It still has the largest unreinforced concrete dome on the world.

The famous story about the Great Flood is best known from the Bible (Genesis 6-9). It has always been known that there were similar stories from Greece and Rome (like the ones by Apollodorus, Ovid, and Hyginus), but in the nineteenth century, several texts from ancient Iraq were added. The first discovery was Tablet XI of the Babylonian Epic of Gilgameš (in 1872), the second the Sumerian original, now called the Eridu Genesis (1914), and the third the Epic of Atrahasis (1956). It is now clear that the Biblical account stays close to an earlier Babylonian model.

Teiresias saw two snakes sexually couples in the area of Kyllene, and when he injured them he changed from a man into a woman.
Or: "Teiresias saw two snakes sexually couples in the area of Kyllene, and when he injured them he changed from a man into a woman. Later, seeing the same snakes again mating, he was changed back into a man. Thus, when Hera and Zeus were arguing as to whether men or women enjoy sex more, they put the question to Teiresias. He said that on a scale of ten, women enjoy it nine times to men's one. Whereupon Hera blinded him, and Zeus gave him the power of prophecy." Source: Apollodorus, The Library 3.711 answer
