Roman mythology From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Roman mythology did not exist in the sense of Greek mythology . That is to say: until their poets began to borrow from Greek models in the later part of the Republic , the Romans had no stories about their gods equivalent to the Titanomachy or the seduction of Zeus by Hera What they did have, however, were: a highly developed set of rituals, priestly colleges, and "clusters" of related gods. a rich set of historical myths about the foundation and rise of their city involving human actors, with occasional divine interventions. This involved a different way of defining and thinking about the gods than we are familiar with from Greece. For example, if one were to ask a Greek about Demeter , he might reply with the well-known story of her grief at the rape of Persephone by Hades An archaic Roman, by contrast, would tell you that Ceres had an official priest called a flamen, who was junior to the flamens of Jupiter Mars and Quirinus , but senior to the flamens of Flora and Pomona . He might tell you that she was grouped in a triad with two other agricultural gods, Liber and Libera. And he might even be able to rattle off all of the minor gods with specialized functions who attended her: Sarritor (weeding), Messor (harvesting), Convector (carting), Conditor (storing), Insitor (sowing), and dozens more.

var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "angelfire.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" document.write(Prompt); , welcome to this site on Roman Mythology. The ancient Romans used mythology as a combination of religion and stories and fables. For each significant event in their lives, a prayer or sacrifice was made to a specific god or goddess depending on the event. These events included birth, death, and the harvest, among others. There were religious rituals and festivals held throughout the year that often, but not always, had to do with the gods. For some people the festivals themselves were more important than the worshipping of the Olympian gods. Roman myths were not neccesarily regarded as fact, but more as stories with messages to live by.

We will approach our study primarily through Greek and Roman literature and iconography. Greek legends and stories have held a tremendous fascination for humankind since they were first told. Their civilization has a unique way of speaking to us. Our first job will be to peel back the levels of history to get back at what the ancients really thought about mythology. Our second focus will be on that relationship between the ancients and us; that will be dealt with in the final project. Texts The basic text book Since classical mythology affected art in addition to literature, many class presentations will be accompanied by images (snaned images, some slides, Perseus images, etc.) of ancient and post-ancient art. One of the goals of the course is to provide the tools necessary for a student to recognize myths and characters in art.
