Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales About Rome and Modern Italy A short time since, the author prepared a little work on Ancient Greece, which is now before the public. As the preface to that work would not be inappropriate to this, the author inserts it as explanatory of his views in the compilation of the following pages. "The following pages are not intended for mere children, or grave scholars. The first would not comprehend them, and the last would bestow upon them only a sneer. I have imagined myself surrounded by an audience of boys and girls about ten or twelve years of age, and to these, or such as these, I address my story. If in talking of a classical age, I have sometimes used colloquial or commonplace terms; if I have illustrated the adventure of Hercules and the Nemean Lion by a reference to Putnam and the Wolf: if I have brought Athens and Sparta into homely comparison with our own republic, and subjected even Jupiter to the test of our yankee morality; I beg the critical reader to consider two things; first, who I am, and second, who I am talking to.

Download or read book Rome and Italy written by Livy and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2004-05-27 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Books VI-X of Livy's monumental work trace Rome's fortunes from its near collapse after defeat by the Gauls in 386 bc to its emergence, in a matter of decades, as the premier power in Italy, having conquered the city-state of Samnium in 293 bc. In this fascinating history, events are described not simply in terms of partisan politics, but through colourful portraits that bring the strengths, weaknesses and motives of leading figures such as the noble statesman Camillus and the corrupt Manlius vividly to life. While Rome's greatest chronicler intended his history to be a memorial to former glory, he also had more didactic aims - hoping that readers of his account could learn from the past ills and virtues of the city.
Download or read book Early Rome written by Jaclyn Neel and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-05-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The scholarly community has become increasingly aware of the differences between Roman myths and the more familiar myths of Greece. Early Rome: Myth and Society steps in to provide much-needed modern and accessible translations and commentaries on Italian legends. This work examines the tales of Roman pre-and legendary history, discusses relevant cultural and contextual information, and presents author biographies. This book offers updated translations of key texts, including authors who are often absent from classical mythology textbooks, such as Dionysius of Halicarnassus and Servius. Editor Jaclyn Neel debunks the idea that Romans were unimaginative copyists by spotlighting the vitality and flexibility of Italian myth — particularly those parts that are less closely connected to Greek tales, such as the story of Caeculus of Praeneste. Finally, by calling attention to the Italian rather than Roman nature of the collection, this book suggests that Roman culture was broader than the city itself. This important work offers: Up-to-date and accessible translations of Roman and Italic legends from authors throughout antiquity Examination of compelling tales that involve the Roman equivalent of Greek “heroes” Unique view of the strength and plasticity of Roman and Italic myth, particularly the parts less closely connected to familiar Greek tales Intelligent discussion of relevant cultural and contextual information Argument that Roman culture reached far beyond the city of Rome Fresh and readable, Early Rome: Myth and Society offers essential reading for students of ancient Rome as well as those interested in Roman and Greek mythology.
