Roman myths
Tales of Neptune
Roman myths are the traditional stories of ancient Rome involving gods, heroes, and supernatural events.
These narratives explained natural phenomena, justified social customs, and traced Rome's origins to divine or legendary figures like Romulus and Aeneas.
Much was borrowed from Greek mythology, with Roman gods mapped onto Greek counterparts: Jupiter to Zeus, Venus to Aphrodite.
The founding of Rome is steeped in Roman myth.
