Summary

Introducing: Captivating stories and facts of Roman gods, goddesses, and mythological creatures! 

In this audiobook, you will discover many fascinating aspects of the Roman gods, goddesses, and mythological creatures. Each of the first six chapters begins with a narrative scene which helps bring the legendary and mythical characters to life. 

In chapter one, you will find the seeds of legitimacy that Virgil planted regarding the Trojan connection to Rome. In chapter two, you will learn about the foundation of Rome by the semi-divine, wolf-suckled brothers, Romulus and Remus. This chapter will also explore the myth of Aeneas’s son. 

In chapter three, you will learn about the gods of Roman origin as well as Roman mythological creatures. Chapter four focuses on the Etruscan influence on Roman mythology. The Greek influence on Roman mythology is the topic of chapter five. 

In chapter six, the audiobook will investigate the Celtic influence and see how the gods of the Celts were melded with the Roman pantheon in creative ways. Finally, in chapter seven, you will discover the potential truths behind the Roman gods, goddesses, and creatures. Every myth had a beginning, and in this chapter, we explore some of the possibilities. 

Just some of the questions and topics covered in this audiobook include: 

  • The Trojan Connection
  • What History and an Analysis of Myth Tell Us
  • Founding of Rome
  • Purely Roman Gods
  • The Creatures of Roman Mythology
  • Borrowings from Etruria
  • Influence of the Greek Pantheon
  • Greek Creatures Adopted by the Romans

It manages to deliver a lot of information in very little time with the practically decorative language and it's so clearly written that this is great overwhelming. Highly recommended.

Resource are there, good book.

Any additional comments?

With so many movies and television productions insecurely founded on Mythology, I supposed I would re-visit the source for many of the stories. Decent source for other projects as well, quilts for instance.

Any additional comments?

The Romans came from a city and went on to dominate their world. Their influence is still with us yet, generally, little is known about them. Covers all aspects of Roman life and history, their Gods, Goddesses, and Mythological Creatures and all about.

Show the depth of human emotions!!!

Any additional comments?

I truly love the book and would've returned it, however, it is the examples of the Roman Gods and Goddesses that are very hard for me to compare to. I would purchase this book again but may be applied rather of fresh.
