**Janus** è una delle Divinità giocabili in SMITE.

## Folklore

Molti temono i cambiamenti,l'avventurarsi nell'ignoto, deviare da una strada sicura e certa per qualcosa di inaspettato. Ma la vita è cambiamento; un viaggio attraverso porte sia fisiche che emozionali, in cui ogni momento è un passaggio a qualcosa di nuovo, ed è Giano, dio dei portali e delle transizioni che governa tutto ciò. Portando due facce, Giano guarda sempre sia al futuro che al passato, conoscendoli entrambi ma non potendoli controllare. Egli è solo ciò che sta in mezzo, lo si trova nel cambio delle stagioni, alla nascita di un bambino e agli ingressi dei templi e delle taverne. Per questa ragione i romani diedero il suo nome al primo mese: Gennaio - un portale tra il vecchio anno è il nuovo. Però gli imperatori romani attribuivano a Giano anche una strana tradizione. In fondo a ogni suo tempio vi erano porte massicce. In tempo di pace, quelle porte erano chiuse, ma in tempo di guerra erano spalancate. Quando il potere di roma era in crescita, raramente le porte erano chiuse ma vi sono stati quasi quattrocento anni di pace a Roma da allora e il tempio è diventato polveroso e vuoto. In questi giorni, però, le porte sono di nuovo aperte. Sembra che la guerra sia ritornata, è il più grande dei cambiamenti sia su di noi.

## Trivia

* Janus was originally meant to carry a sword/key as his weapon, but the idea was scrapped during development. You can still find a smaller version of the key hanging from his belt, and you can see the full size key in his default skin card.
* One of Janus' taunts, "*You shall not pass!.. through my portals that is.*", is a reference to a quote made by Gandalf from the *Lord of the Rings* series.
* One of Janus' lines for when he is in low health, "*Curse my body, I wasn't fast enough."*, is a reference to a quote made by C-3P0 in the film *Star Wars: A New Hope*.
* Janus' Defeat Screen animation is a reference to the American animated cartoon *Scooby-Doo*.
* Janus' Jandroid skin is a reference to the first-person puzzle-platform video game, *Portal*.
* The names of Janus' *Gatekeeper* and *Keymaster* skins are a reference to the 1984 film, *Ghostbusters*.
