4.9/5 (11356 ratings)

Description:The scholarly community has become increasingly aware of the differences between Roman myths and the more familiar myths of Greece. Early 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 Fresh and readable, Early Myth and Society offers essential reading for students of ancient Rome as well as those interested in Roman and Greek mythology.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
