Book Description:

The mythology of the ancient Romans stands out as one of the most unusual of the world's national mythologies, in large part because so much of it consists of exaggerated, highly glamorized renditions of early Roman historical events. After borrowing the images of the principal Greek gods, the Romans proceeded to glorify their greatest warriors of the past as heroes for the ages.
