Document Summary
Meet with rome at 150 bc: rome. A lot of nationalism in roman myth. Not much oral tradition: myth was popular when they were already writing and literate. Very tight focus on rome because romans only lived in rome. Don"t oppose the romans: they destroyed cities they came into contact with, this taught a lesson to future generations. Some of the gods/goddesses match up between greek and roman myth: some issues (ex. Virgil and ovid lived in a very literate time: refined, editing. Punic wars: 3 wars against carthage, bk 4 of the aeneid. Ennius" annals was a big influence for virgil. Connections between greek and roman myth: 1185 bc=trojan war. Julus founds alba longa (near lavinium: 1170-753 bc=alban kings, 753 bc=romulus (alban prince) founds rome, 753-510 bc=7 kings of rome. Aeneus through the ages: 8th century bc=homer, iliad 20. 307, 6th century bc=stesichoros, the sack of troy, 3rd century bc.
