What Role Did Romulus And Remus Play In Greek History

All gods and goddesses have an importance in Greek history. Lots of stories about gods and goddesses tie into the modern day today. Romulus is one of the greatest war gods and is the one who has given us ideas of war history.

Story “Romulus and Remus” describes the Romans as warriors. Romulus and Remus were the sons of the god Mars. Mars was the god of war, Romulus and Remus got Mars’ power in their blood. Later when Romulus and Remus were babies they were thrown into the river. A she-wolf found them and took them to her cave. She taught them to hunt and fight like warriors do as they grew up with her. When Romulus and Remus grew older, a Shepherd found them playing by the river Tiber. He took them. When Romulus and Remus grew

even older they found their uncle who had set them adrift when they were babies. They used their knowledge about fighting to kill their uncle.
They were sneaky and quick.

They felt so special they decided to build a city. They ran into a problem, Romulus and Remus argued about where to put the city. Romulus used his warrior like skills to kill his brother to get what he wanted, just like warriors fight for their country or to get what they want. It is now clear that Romans had war in their blood, and are great fighters.

The Romulus and Remus story tells us that the Ancient Romans thought that the more powerful should always win and so were prone to using war as a solution. There first king and the founder of Rome was Mars’, the god of war, son. So their first ruler was very violent and killed his brother over who would rule Rome. Also, their first ruler was brought up by

wolves.
As you know wolves are very violent because they must kill to eat their food.
So they believed in conquering when they needed food just like the Spartans. Rome was found in a pool of blood so they obviously believed in war. Rome was founded in pool of blood because Remus was struck down by his brother in a dispute, whether Rome would be called Rome or Rem. So the Romans believed in war because their first ruler was brought up by wolves and was the son of Mars, god of war.The myth Romulus and Remus tells us the Ancient Romans were
aggressive.
The first sign is that Romulus and Remus’ uncle tried to kill them, and capture their mother.

This shows us that the Ancient Romans were not afraid to be aggressive toward their own flesh and blood, and felt no remorse at murdering them. The second sign is that Romulus and Remus were raised by wolves. This made them tough and fierce, which are both characteristics the Ancient Romans must have admired, considering the fact that Romulus and Remus were the “ideal Romans”.

The last clue to their aggression is the fact that Romulus killed his own brother, Remus. Romulus was considered the stronger one and was more respected than Remus after he did this. The Romans must have thought, the more you killed, the more powerful you were. This means that being aggressive, even if it means attacking your family, was an important value in Ancient Rome. The Romulus and Remus myth tells us that Ancient Romans are strong. One way the Romulus and Remus myth tells us that Ancient Romans are strong is that Romulus and Remus were raised by

wolves.
Wolves are very vicious and ragged, and for a human child to live and be raised by a pack of wolves the child has to be very strong. Another way the Romulus and Remus myth tells that Ancient Romans are strong is that Romulus and Remus overthrew Amulius. When Amulius a was king Romulus and Remus march right up to him and overthrew him, which takes pure strength. My final reason that the Romulus and Remus myth tells us that Ancient Romans are very strong is that Romulus killed Remus. Romulus killed his twin brother Remus because Remus was taunting him, and it takes tremendous strength to kill somebody.
The Romulus and Remus myth tells us that Ancient Romans are strong by Romulus and Remus being raised by wolves, by Romulus and Remus overthrowing Amulius and by Romulus killing Remus. The myth of Romulus and Remus shows that Ancient Romans were brave, creative and would always solve a problem by fighting. As teenagers they
went back to the evil king that had tried to kill them when they were babies and took revenge on him.
And that shows that they were brave because they tried to defeat a king that tried to kill them when they were babies. The myth shows that Romulus and Remus were very creative because they built a new city including the street and buildings. This city would be the great city of Rome. The myth also shows that Romans solved their problems by fighting because in the myth Romulus and Remus started to fight to decide what to call their new city. And they wouldn’t stop fighting until one of them died. The myth also shows that the gods loved Romans because the gods made Romulus become a god.
