text: greek  or roman god for "shouting/public speaking" ? i would like to find out a god or mythological figure who shouted and spoke and (everyone or no-one) heard. any relations to this theme is great! thanks - i wouldn't know where to start looking. bradley p got it half right, the roman god stentor was originated by the greek legend stentor who's shouting could beat the war cry of over 60 men, he challenged hermes to a shouting contest, hermes cheated and used the sounds of weapon clashing, volcanic eruptions, waves hitting the shore, and the sound of thunder, and against stentor, stentor lost, he was so upset by this he killed him self by stabbing a sword deep into his stomach, the name originated in greek mythology as a legend, the roman took it in their mythology as a god
