Roman mythology is based on Greek mythology. About a thousand years after Greek mythology was created, Roman mythology started to surface; gods and goddesses were inspired by already existing greek gods. For example, Jupiter in Roman mythology was the counterpart to Zeus in Greek mythology. Every god or goddess had attributes of another god in the other mythology.

Lamia was the queen of Libya which is another name for North Africa in greek and roman mythology. She became a child eating daemon. Lamia was known for being beautiful. She was a mistress of Zeus. One of his many. Zeus is known as the god of the sky. He was also married to a woman named Hera. Hera was the goddess of women and marriage. She was known for being jealous of Zeus lovers and children. Hera was said to have killed all of lamias children. She killed them out of jealousy, and she kept one alive. The child of lamias she kept alive is named Scylla. The reasoning for keeping Scylla alive is because she was left cursed.

The Aeneid was an important poem written by Virgil who wrote it during the reign of Caesar Augustus. The poem follows to create a story of Aeneas who speaks to his father, Anchises, about the future of Rome. However, this more than just a mere poem that remained popular to the Roman audience. By creating this poem, Virgil’s purpose was to praise Augustus of his reign and success and also to give the audience some sort of story behind how Rome became the way it was.

Greek/Roman mythological stories were created to explain what couldn't proven at that time. Allusion is an expression designed to call something to mind without mentioning it explicitly; an indirect or passing reference. Allusion are usually happen to people who doesn't study about goddess, or a piece of writing. Businesses like Nike, Honda, Midas are came from an origin of goddess. Such as, Nike a billion dollar company selling sports apparel, who its name came from a winged goddess of peaceful competition. Venus likewise, a razors brand for women, the goddess of love. Titanic, a sinking ship, its name mean a very strong god. Arachne, a type of spider who is named after a princess. These companies were origin from goddess either their brand

The Aeneid a beautifully epic poem written by Virgil. This epic tale consists of a Trojan warrior Aeneas go through trials and tribulations of fate. Though many of his problems consist of women who have loved and loathed him in his life. These women nonetheless have made his founding of Rome come true. Every woman in this story has contributed to Aeneas’s destiny and character.

The common theme of intervening gods can be found in nearly all religions but Greek and Roman mythology are perhaps the most famous for gods who actively meddle in the plans and goals of other deities. Rome as known today was founded a good bit after many Greek city states had become established. The values of Greek society were then transposed onto Roman society, values such as art, philosophy, literature and drama. Greek mythology was well known but it was warped to fit a Roman

Many say that the gods of Greek and Roman mythology find their origin to the days of Noah — and I would argue — the time of the Canaanites some 3500 plus years ago. In these stories, we find all sorts of beings that are part human and part divine (gods). Is it just one more coincidence that The Bible teaches that The Antichrist will head up a ten-nation kingdom made up from the old Roman Empire? That The Antichrist himself will eventually become part human and part angel when Satan comes into him? That unregenerate people during the tribulation will long for death and it escapes them? Is it also a coincidence that Donald Trump’s penthouse is full of images and sculptures of Greek/Roman gods?

Mythology is the history and beliefs of a people who were able to see the magic in the world all around them. “Today their alters are empty, their great temples in ruins. But the gods of the ancient Greeks and Romans live on in powerful myths that have borne retelling for countless generations.(Fandex 1)”. Greek mythology and its Roman counter part have fascinated people for ages. Despite their similarities Greek and Roman mythology has key differences: in the Gods names, what they are based off of, ideologies and stories of creation. Although these stories were told centuries ago, they can still relate to us today.

There are many similarities between Greek and Roman mythology, and several differences. The Greeks built a great civilization and many temples to the Gods. They furthered the areas of poetry, art, philosophy, astronomy, architecture, and religion. When the Romans conquered Greece they adopted many aspects of their civilization, including their religion and myths. The Greeks built the foundation and the Romans made the myths their own. Their scholars and poets studied the works of the Greeks and preserved the myths for us to enjoy today.

The Aenied by Virgil was written during the Augustan period and is ranked among the greatest works of Latin literature. The epic poem narrates the legendary story of a Trojan called Aeneas destined to become the Romans’ ancestor. The poem was originally written in Latin and later translated to English. The excerpt is derived from an instance where Neptune stepped in to help Aeneas the Trojan when the stormy waves were sent to end his journey to Italy from Troy. The stormy winds were caused by Aeolus with the help of Juno. Juno had a grudge against the Trojans, which prompted her to call Aeolus, god of winds, to cause havoc for them. In the excerpt, Neptune, god of the

The author of Aeneid: Virgil, used many resources to come up with one of the most influential piece of work in the history of poetry. While writing the Aeneid, Virgil was most influenced by the literally work of another renowned author known as Homer who hailed from Greek. The Aeneid is an epic poem that narrates the adventures of its main character and hero who is known as Aeneus. Aeneus is a renowned Trojan hero, he survived the fall of troy and fled, he sailed towards the west to a place known as Italy. It was in Italy that he founded the Rome Empire. When Virgil wrote the Aeneid, he included all the history of Rome in it up to his own time.

Mythology is a vast collection of made up/fake stories told during the Ancient Greek era. That is what we are told at young age growing up learning about Greek Gods and Goddesses like Zeus and Hercules. But actually the mythology comes from the word myth which is a Greek word for speech or discourse, but later adapted the meaning of fable or legend (Doyle, 2015).The traditional stories, poems, literature, and art have been passed down for years. The stories about Gods and Goddesses, heroes, and monsters are important in everyday life. They explained the religious rituals between different groups weather they gave a meaning to every individuals around the world who saw the culture, who saw the change. But my main focus for this paper is to shed light on how ancient Greek mythology focuses on Gods and Goddess and moral lessons taught that were taught.

Emperor Caesar Augustus commissioned the Roman poet Virgil to create a Roman epic: The Aeneid (Leeming). The epic was written in mind for a target audience of young educated elite Romans. Virgil seamlessly ties together Aeneas and the founding of Rome with Augustus and the rise of the Roman Empire. Through this connection, Virgil writes The Aeneid as propaganda to please the emperor Augustus by depicting Aeneas founding of Rome as a heroic journey. However, Virgil also criticizes Augustus’s rule through the character Aeneas and his struggle to balance mercy and justice.
