Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Drawing on literary, historical, and archaeological evidence, this book examines the obscure myth of Hercules at Rome, an enduring and intriguing element within Roman mythology. The author explores how the story of Hercules' encounter with the monstrous Cacus became tied to the ara max…ima, an altar in the Forum Boarium, and the religious practices associated with it. By dissecting the myth into its various mythical and historical elements, the author demonstrates how, through Roman antiquarians, historians, and poets, diverse stories evolved into a unified and captivating account. This detailed analysis reveals not only the full complexity of the Hercules myth but also offers a deeper understanding of the rich tapestry of Roman mythology. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
