Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, Date: 1995. Softcover. Good Condition. Cover shows modest signs of handling, and one or two scuffs and bumped corners. Pages are free from notes or highlighting. Sound and serviceable overall. Publisher's note: Romulus founded Rome - but why does the myth give him a twin brother Remus, who is killed at the moment of the foundation? This mysterious legend has been oddly neglected. Roman historians ignore it as irrelevant to real history; students of myth concentrate on the more glamorous mythology of Greece, and treat Roman stories as of little interest. In this book, Professor Wiseman provides, for the first time, a detailed analysis of all the variants of the story, and a historical explanation for its origin and development. His conclusions offer important new insights, both into the history and ideology of pre-imperial Rome and into the methods and motives of myth-creation in a non-literate society. In the richly unfamiliar Rome of Pan, Hermes and Circe the witch-goddess, where a general grows miraculous horns and prophets demand human sacrifice, Remus stands for the unequal struggle of the many against the powerful few xv, 243. Shipped Weight: Under 500 grams. Category: History; Mythology, Roman; Rome (Empire); Historiography; Remus (Twin of Romulus, King of Rome); Name; ISBN: 0521483662. ISBN/EAN: 9780521483667. Add.
