Book excerpt: Unlock Your Roman Treasure Box! Enter a world where gods and goddesses mingle with the humans that worship them in elaborate temples, where heroes fight epic battles and monsters are thwarted, where legendary tales are told with an eye toward eternal glory--the treasure that is Roman mythology is an undeniable pleasure to read. Explore another world of ancient values, virtues, and vices, which are never to be forgotten. The motifs of Roman mythology are similar to that of many other mythologies: Supernatural power is a handy way to explain the extraordinary; heroes are larger-than-life, with superhuman strength and wisdom to spare; gods are tricky and should be approached with caution; harrowing journeys are undertaken; battles are fought and champions are forged. The Romans developed a highly-sophisticated government and military, and successfully conquered much of the known Western world; their influence is undeniable still yet today. We can see the Roman evolution from their legendary founding, to their epic expansion, to their continued presence in our popular imagination through the thread of their treasure trove of myths and tales. This book can take you through that journey, beginning with an overview of the Roman peoples and cultures, and into an understanding of their pantheon of gods and goddesses, their amazing tales of adventure and restless search for meaning, and a glimpse into who they actually were via the stories they held dear. Some specific elements you will encounter: Some of the main gods of the Greco-Roman pantheon, with all their quirks and foibles The Roman Council of Twelve Gods and their all-too-human role in the peoples they oversee The epic tales of the founding of one of the greatest empires in history The multiple myths of the Metamorphoses, from tales of transformation to love stories, both tragic and magical The politics and history of Rome that informed the stories the ancient Romans told about themselves and their culture From the Minotaur to the Medusa--fascinating human-animal hybrids The vision of women in Roman culture, from temptress to protector Stories about one of the most legendary figures in mythological history: Hercules The first Roman emperor and his desire to create a new story of Rome Contemporary visions of Roman characters and how they inform our Western institutions, our literary and artistic history, and our contemporary culture Roman mythology is diverse and fascinating, offering us an insight into how ancient people believed and lived, into what they valued and vilified, and into how they loved and thrived.

Download or read book Roman Mythology written by Jordan Parr and published by . This book was released on 2021-12-15 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roman mythology is closely linked in our minds to Greek mythology, and for a good reason. As Rome evolved into an empire, its people began to long for a mythical history to solidify Roman identity. Romans, however, were not particularly interested in the effort it would take to create these myths from scratch, so they borrowed them. Greece was not the only influence on Roman culture, but it was the most prominent one.Still, when the Romans appropriated these tales, they made them their own, renaming the leading players and infusing the stories with a good dose of Roman ideology. Crucially, Roman religion and myth were meant to be practical. They discarded the Greeks' affinity for poetry and philosophy and instead focused on structure and ceremony--the gods' stories became Rome's stories, providing a divine pedigree for its conquerors and the proper rituals for continued prosperity. In Rome, the gods, like everything else, existed to benefit the empire.This book will introduce you to those gods, to the heroes they helped (and hindered), to the monsters they created and killed, and to the world of ancient Rome where they were worshipped. The stories are not for the faint of heart. They are full of war and betrayal, of blood and sorrow, of long voyages and narrow escapes, and most of all, of the perilous thrill that awaits mortals that venture into the realm of the gods.

Book excerpt: Roma er landsbyen som vokste til et imperium. De opprinnelige romerske mytene og gudene ble etter hvert blandet sammen med den greske tradisjonen, som absorberte og forandret dem. De opprinnelige romerske mytene har vi ingen skriftlige spor etter, men kan ane dem på gamle kunstverk. Denne boken tar for seg romerske myter, først og fremst fortellingen om Aeneas og fortellingen om grunnleggelsen av Roma. Videre fortelles det om statsreligionen i republikken Roma og introduksjonen av nye guder fra Hellas. Gudene fikk egne romerske navn. Bokens siste kapittel handler om Roma og kristenheten. Rikt illustrert med fargefotos, derav flere helsides. Foto: Michael Dixon. Har oversiktskart over området og stikkordregister.
