Reseñas editoriales

In this overview of Roman mythology young listeners are treated to the story of brothers Romulus and Remus and the founding of Rome, as well an outline of Virgil's Aneid, a heroic epic immensely popular in its day. Hosting this iMinds' case study, actor Todd MacDonald brims with curiosity and imagination as he conjures up satyrs and giants, and introduces children to important Roman deities, including Poseidon, Venus, and Athena. MacDonald places these myths in a historical and cultural context, as he examines how they were influenced by Greek religion and ultimately abandoned as a belief system following Emperor Constantine's conversion to Christianity. Sure to capture the intrigue of young audiences, the Aussie actor is emotive and even-paced throughout the proceedings.

"I'm learning all sorts of stuff about stuff I didn't even know I didn't know. And it sticks. In a nutshell: wonderful." (Jonathon Margolis, Financial Times)

Interesting little tidbits

Interesting little tidbits. Fun way to pass a few minutes. I would not pay for, but since it is part of Audible membership I recommend.

Great Short on Roman Mythology

This is a very interesting short introduction to Roman Mythology. One of the most prevalent of these myths is that of Romulus and Remus, They were purported to be sons of Rhea Silvia and either Mars, the god of war, or the demigod hero, Hercules. Abandoned at birth because of a prophecy that they would overthrow their great-uncle Amulius, who had overthrown Silvia's father, Numitor. They were left at the river Tiber by servants, who pitied the infants. The twins were nurtured by a she-wolf until a shepherd named Faustulus found the boys and took them as his sons. Faustulus and his wife Acca Larentia raised the children. When Remus and Romulus became adults, they killed Amulius and restored Numitor as had been prophesied. Romulus and Remus decided to establish a city, but argued about which hill to build it on. They fought, with Romulus killing his brother. Thus, Rome began with a fratricide (the killing of one's brother), a story that was later taken to represent the city's history of internecine political strife and bloodshed. There are many other myths associated with Rome, but this one, associated with the establishment of the city is quite interesting.

Very brief intro to Roman mythology

This is a super brief intro to Roman mythology. After listening to the elaborate mythologies from great courses, this feels like a summary of a summary of a summary. :)

Hardly long enough to be an INTRODUCTION

Although this says it is a book, it is so short that it seems to be the opening paragraphs of what could have been an interesting essay. alas it leaves MUCH to be desired.
