Synopsis
From the great deeds of heroes such as Aeneas and Ulysses to tales of the gods Neptune, Mars, Venus and Mercury, Roman Myths provides an informative guide to the myths and legends of one of the great foundation civilizations of Europe. Book jacket., Today, we may encounter the legacy of ancient Roman myths before we encounter the stories themselves, whether this is in day-to-day speech, the art on display at the Louvre, or the works of William Shakespeare. Illustrated throughout, this is an engaging introduction to Roman mythology, its roots, and its ongoing importance., In ancient Rome (753 BC - 476 AD) mythology was integral to various aspects of society, from religion, to politics, to the founding of the city. Today, we may encounter the legacy of these stories before we encounter the stories themselves, whether this is in day-to-day speech, the 18th century art on display at the Louvre, or the works of William Shakespeare. The Roman tendency to accept their mythology as part of history creates a degree of uncertainty around the historical basis of the figures featured in these legendary tales. Truth, fiction, or both, the significance of mythology to this people is palpable. From Romulus and Remus and the founding of Rome to Lucretia and the Republic; from Livy and the Dii Consentes to Virgil's Aeneid; from Dis Pater in the underworld to Jupiter, god of the sky. Illustrated with 180 colour and black-and-white photographs, artworks, and maps, Roman Myths is an engaging and informative book, offering an introduction to Roman mythology, its roots, and its ongoing importance.
