Endless Buzz If you are interested in mythologies and want to know all about the Roman mythology, read on to explore the Roman myths and find out about the Roman gods. Mythology is a collection of myths that a particular culture believes in and often attributes events of ancient past to supernatural powers. The mythology of any culture is generally a collection of the myths that explain the origin, the traditions, rituals and social practices followed by that culture. The word ‘mythology’ is often used to refer to the ancient tales that have been passed from generation to generation through verbal tradition, or have been written down and preserved for centuries. Since the Christian era, the Greco-Romans started using the word myth to mean ‘fable’. Roman mythology is one of the earliest ones and is a combination of the Roman beliefs, rituals and observances. The Greek mythology has influenced a large part of the Roman mythology, while the beliefs of the olden times were quite different from those of the Greeks. Roman mythology of the olden times is composed of myths of gods and humans. Romans had many gods whom they worshiped. It is believed that Romans lived in fear of these gods. Roman mythology contains many narratives about the origin of the city of Rome. Romulus and Remus are the traditional founders of Rome. They were the twin sons of priestess Rhea Silvia. According to the Roman mythology, Romulus was the first to throne Rome. A legend says that Romulus and Remus were standing on two hills. A circle of birds hovered over Romulus, indicating him to be the king of Rome. Romulus created the Roman Legions and the Roman Senate. He populated Rome by the abduction of some women from the Sabine tribes. This resulted in the Roman population in being a mixture of the Sabines and the Romans.

Articles Reference News Wires, White Papers, and Books Myths and Legends of the World Related articles From the founding of the Roman empire to its fall in a.d. 476, Rome dominated Europe and much of North Africa, the Near East, and Asia Minor*. Although this sprawling empire encompassed many cultures with their own myths and legends, the mythology of the Romans themselves revolved around the founding, history, and heroes of the city of Rome. The Romans had developed their own pantheon of gods and goddesses. After they conquered Greece, however, their deities became increasingly associated with the figures of Greek mythology. Background and Sources. Although Rome's early history is difficult to separate from the legends that formed around it, the city appears to have begun as a community of central Italian peoples known as Latins. The Latins merged with the Etruscans, who had come to Italy from Asia Minor before 800 b.c. Until 510 b.c., Rome was ruled by kings. Then it became a republic governed by elected officials. The Roman republic eventually dominated most of Italy and conquered the North African coast and Greece. By 31 b.c., Rome governed all the lands around the Mediterranean Sea as well as northwest Europe.

    Extractions: At the founding of Rome, the gods were 'numina', divine manifestations, faceless, formless, but no less powerful. The idea of gods as anthropomorphized beings came later, with the influence from Etruscans and Greeks, which had human form. Some of the Roman Gods are at least as old as the founding of Rome. The concept of numen continued to exist and it was related to any manifestation of the divine. For the Romans, everything in Nature is thought to be inhabited by numina, which explains the big number of deities in the Roman pantheon, as will be shown. Numina manifest the divine will by means of natural phenomena, which the pious Roman constantly seeks to interpret. That's why great attention is paid to omens and portents in every aspect of Roman daily life. A groups of twelve Gods called Dii Consentes is especially honored by the Romans: Jupiter, Juno, Minerva, Vesta, Ceres, Diana, Venus, Mars, Mercurius, Neptunus, Volcanus, and Apollo. These are the ones listed by the Poet Ennius about the 3rd Century, B.C.E.. Their gilt statues stood in the Forum, later apparently in the Porticus Deorum Consentium. As there were six male and six female, they may well have been the twelve worshipped at the lectisternium of 217 BC. A lectisternium is a banquet of the gods, where the statues of the gods were put upon cushions, and where these statues were offered meals. The number 12 was taken from the Etruscans, which also worshipped a main pantheon of 12 Gods. Nevertheless, the Dii Consentes were not identified with Etruscan deities but rather with the Greek Olympian Gods (though the original character of the Roman Gods was different from the Greek, having no myths traditionally associated). The twelve Dii Consentes are lead by the first three, which form the Capitoline Triad. These are the three cornerstones of Roman religion, whose rites were conducted in the Capitoleum Vetus on the Capitoline Hill.

There is not much development to them, though some of them were thought to have different responsibilities as Gods. Jupiter Juno Mercury Mars ... Priapus The Tale of Romulus and Remus: The twin sons of Rhea Silvia and Mars were raised by a she-wolf after being sent to drown by King Amulius. They grew into strong, fair men who treated everyone kindly. At a local festival, Remus was captured and sent before Numitor, Romulus and his grandfather, to be judged. After learning of the atrocities committed by Amulius, Romulus and Remus set out to kill him and eventually did. Romulus and Remus later set out to find somewhere that the growing population of males in Alba Longa could live. They found a site, and jealousy caused Romulus to kill Remus and name the site after himself. The site was Rome, and the tale of Romulus and Remus describes how it came to be. Pygmalion: Pygmalion was a single man who thought that women of the time were fickle. He was also a sculptor, and one day created his image of the perfect woman. He began obsessing over the statue , and wished that it could somehow reply to him. After a time, Pygmalion finally decided to pray to the goddess Venus and ask her to give his statue life. He returned home and hugged his statue, causing it to suddenly transform into a human being. Pygmalion and his statue both lived happily from then on.

    Extractions: of ancient Roman daily life There were many thousands of Roman gods. The gods lived everywhere - in trees, under a bush, by the side of the road, in a burrow, in a flower, in a stream, under the bed, and perhaps even in the stove in your house. There was even a deity who lived inside the latch that opened the door to each home. In ancient Rome, everything had a spirit in charge of it. Remember Io, the little spirit who Jupiter turned into a little white cow? Io’s job, before her run in with the gods, was to guard the creek where she lived. Temples: There were impressive temples all over the Roman Empire. Every day, the ancient Romans brought offerings of meat and other items to at least one nearby temple, and usually more than one temple. Household Gods: Each home had a personal household god that kept things running smoothly at home. Some ancient Romans kept a whole room of their house for a grand display to honor their household god. Others had a small display somewhere in the kitchen. Whenever the ancient Romans prepared a meal, they ate it in honor of the household god. New Gods: Not all of the gods that the ancient Romans worshiped were originally Roman gods. The Romans did a lot of traveling as they expanded their empire. Each time the Romans heard a myth about a god or goddess or spirit or deity from the people they met (and conquered), if they liked it, they adopted it and made it their own. They enjoyed the
