Roman Myths (Graphic Mythology) David West

The speech bubbles and strip cartoon-style illustrations create a dynamic format that encourages readers to engage with the characters and get involved in the story. While many Roman myths are based on older Greek myths, the three tales in this title are all authentic and original myths of Roman origin - 'The Wanderings of Aeneas', 'Horatius and the Bridge', and the most famous Roman myth, 'Romulus and Remus' and the founding of Rome. Opening and closing pages contain information about the significance of religious culture in ancient Rome, and details about the main deities worshipped by ordinary Romans, including photographs of temples and religious statues. This work includes a glossary, an index and information on recommended further reading. It helps achieve the goals of the Scottish Standard Curriculum 5-14. It fits into Key Stage 2 History.
