Roman Mythology Under the empire, the Saturnalia was celebrated for seven days, from December 17 to 23, during the period in which the winter solstice occurred. All business was suspended, slaves were given temporary freedom, gifts were exchanged, and merriment prevailed. The Lupercalia was an ancient festival originally honoring Lupercus, a pastoral god of the Italians. The festival was celebrated on February 15 at the cave of the Lupercal on the Palatine Hill, where the legendary founders of Rome, the twins Romulus and Remus, were supposed to have been nursed by a wolf. Among the Roman legends connected with them is that of Faustulus, a shepherd who was supposed to have discovered the twins in the wolf's den and to have taken them to his home, in which they were brought up by his wife, Acca Larentia. The Equiria, a festival in honor of Mars, was celebrated on February 27 and March 14, traditionally the time of year when new military campaigns were prepared. Horse races in the Campus Martius notably marked the celebration. A thorough reform and restoration of the old system was carried out by Emperor Augustus, who himself became a member of all the priestly orders. Even though the earlier ritual had had little to do with morality, being mainly a businesslike relation with unseen powers in which humans paid proper service to the gods and were rewarded by security, it had promoted piety and religious discipline and thus was fostered by Augustus as a safeguard against internal disorder. During this period the legend of the founding of Rome by the Trojan hero Aeneas became prominent because of the publication of Vergil's Aeneid.

The religion of the early Romans was so changed by the addition of numerous and conflicting beliefs in later times, and by the assimilation of a vast amount of Greek mythology, that it cannot be ever reconstructed precisely. This was because of the extensive changes in the religion before the literary tradition began. The origins of those myhts were in most cases unknown to the early Roman writers on religion. On the other hand classical writers, such as the poet Ovid in his Fasti (Calendar), were strongly influenced by Hellenistic models, and in their works they frequently employed Greek beliefs to fill gaps in the Roman tradition.

11. Classical Myth: Homepage Drawing together ancient texts and images concerning the major figures of Greek and roman mythology, by Laurel Bowman, University of Victoria. http://web.uvic.ca/grs/bowman/myth/

When I began to write my history I was inclined to count these legends as foolishness, but on getting as far as Arcadia I grew to hold a more thoughtful view of them, which is this. In the days of old those Greeks who were considered wise spoke their sayings not straight out but in riddles, and so the legends about Cronus I conjectured to be one sort of Greek wisdom. In matters of divinity, therefore, I shall adopt the received tradition.

Song of the Timeless Myths from the Book of Heroes The Classical Mythology has epics and tales of the ancient Greek and Roman myths and literatures. The Greek and Roman myths show great variety and originality that has not being matched. Greek mythology is heavily intertwined with Greek classical literature. The works contained the oldest myths in European history. It had withstood the test of time, surviving largely through the works of classical writers between the time of Greek colonisation of the Mediterranean (8th century BC) and the decline of the Roman Empire (AD 3rd century). While the Roman myth and legend was not written until the 1st BC to the decline of Roman Empire. Ovid and Vergil were two of the Roman greatest authors on this subject. They and other Roman writers made classical myths so popular that the medieval Europe and modern society had the tendency to use the more popular Roman names for the Greek gods and heroes, than the Greek names. During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, interests in Greek and Roman myths was renewed in arts and literatures. Even today, their popularity is still in evident. The pages devoted to Classical myths, has been divided into four sections:

home roman Roman Mythology Although the ancient Romans were inspired by the mythology of their neighbors, the Greeks, they also had their own myths and traditions. The tale of the founding of Rome by Romulus, as well as the stories of heroism and duty to the city (such as that of the Horatii, or of the brave Cloelia), are all part of Roman legend. However, Roman myths tend to have a slightly different focus than Greek myths, for many Roman tales seem to have a more historical flavor. To be sure, the legends of Greece were often regarded as having some basis in reality (for example, the Trojan War as a real historical event), but they are somehow more endowed with lyricism, the innate imagination of the poet than the somewhat pragmatic tales of the Romans. That being noted, we invite you to read about the Roman myths, and come to your own conclusions about these compelling stories of heroes and gods.

ANCIENT ROMAN MYTHOLOGY Roman Mythology, various beliefs, rituals, and other observances concerning the supernatural held or practiced by the ancient Romans from the legendary period until Christianity finally completely supplanted the native religions of the Roman Empire at the start of the Middle Ages. The original religion of the early Romans was so modified by the addition of numerous and conflicting beliefs in later times, and by the assimilation of a vast amount of Greek mythology, that it cannot be reconstructed precisely. Because extensive changes in the religion had already taken place before the literary tradition began, its origins were in most cases unknown to the early Roman writers on religion, such as the 1st-century BC scholar Marcus Terentius Varro. Other classical writers, such as the poet Ovid in his Fasti (Calendar), were strongly influenced by Alexandrian models, and in their works they frequently employed Greek beliefs to fill gaps in the Roman tradition. Italian gods were not originally anthropomorphic like Greek Gods , with whom they became identified: SATURNUS (CRONUS) JUPITER (ZEUS) JUNO (HERA) VESTA (HESTIA) MINERVA (ATHENA) CERES (DEMETER) DIANA (ARTEMIS) VENUS (APHRODITE) MARS (ARES) MERCURIUS (HERMES) NEPTUNUS (POSEIDON) VULCANUS (HEPHAESTUS) LIBER (DIONYSUS) DIS PATER (HADES or PLUTO) Non-Italian gods whose names changed from the Greek included: HERCULES (HERACLES) CASTOR and POLLUX (CASTOR and POLYDEUCES) AESCULAPIUS (ASCLEPIUS)
