Intro
As we have seen, the Romans borrowed stories about the gods and
goddesses from the Greeks. Therefore, most Roman myths are adapted
stories. However, there are some gods and goddesses and some stories
which are uniquely Roman. This means that the Romans did not borrow
these figures and stories from the Greeks, but formulated them
themselves.
What happens to them when they are born? At whose command? Why
did this person command it?
Who/what rescued Romulus and Remus?
How do they decide which one gets to be king of the new city?
When you have finished reading the story and answering the questions,
pick your favorite scene from the story and illustrate it. You may do a
simple drawing, a cartoon/comic strip, or any other creative expression
you think of.
