Round 11: Tossup 14
In one speech to a poet, this god claimed that the ancients called him Chaos, giving credence to a possible folk etymology for his name. This god compares his duties to Hecate but notes that he doesn’t have to lose time twisting his neck. This god was given the epithets Patulcius (“pah-TOOL-kee-us”) and Clusius (“CLOO-see-us”) depending on whether his temple was opened or closed during war and peace, respectively. This Roman god, who is often depicted with a staff and a key, is the dedicatee of Book I of Ovid’s Fasti, as he is the namesake of the first month of the Julian calendar. For 10 points, name this two-headed Roman god of gates and doorways. ■END■
ANSWER: Janus [or Ianus (“YAH-noos”); accept Patulcius or Clusius until read]
