Publisher's Synopsis

This study reveals Roman myths as stories, not of gods, but about Romans themselves. They were, in short, propaganda. Tales of Aeneas, Romulus and Remus and the "Seven Kings" tell of the founding of Rome, and extoll her rise to power. Citizens were intended to be inspired by heroism and civic duty.
