Took some inspiration Context: In Greece, myths were derived from a rich old oral tradition: Homer's Iliad and Odyssey and Hesiod's Theogony. These were tales that had been passed down through the generations, first through the spoken word, and finally written down. Centuries later, these colonies would become a part of the early Roman Republic. This contact with Greece, and more specifically with Greek religion and mythology, had a lasting effect on Rome and its people. Rome was able to adopt much that defined Greece: art, philosophy, literature, and drama. Mythology, however, had to be adapted to reflect a Roman set of values. Roman mythology, like that of the Greeks, contained a number of gods and goddesses, and the Romans adopted not only their stories but also many of their gods, renaming a number of them. While the influence of the Greeks is vast, the Romans had a number of original gods of their own such as Janus, the two-faced god of doorways and gates, or Vesta, daughter of Saturn and the goddess of the hearth and family life. Similarly, the Romans adopted gods of other cultures. •Consider following @hothistorymemes and also the Backup @hothistorymemes2 for more historymemes •If you have a problem with my memes please let me know •Partners: @yourhistoryplug byzantinememelibrary @historicallyhistory @templar.mp4 @french.empireball @historymemes_content •Source: https://www.worldhistory.org/Roman_Mythology/ •Credit: u/Able_Health744 •Tags: #historymemes #history #memes #facts #ww1memes #ww2memes #dankmemes #ww1 #ww2 #politicalmemes #memesdaily
