Mythology of the Romans

Roman and Greek mythology share many of the same gods and goddesses.

However, Roman myths have evolved more from real, historical figures and events than did tales from Greek mythology.

Mythology of the Romans explores the stories of some of the most prominent figures, such as Romulus and Remus, Jupiter, Venus, Mars, and Apollo.

Each tale includes a detailed introduction to the complex culture that was ancient Rome, as well as a questionand-answer section and expert commentary written by scholars and specialists on Roman mythology.
