Περιγραφή
Here is a new, highly suggestive book offering a much-needed corrective. We have become so accustomed to associating Greek mythology with Roman mythology that we tend to confuse the two. In this book, Joel Schmidt has taken a completely different approach and rightly so.
Through the culture we have inherited, Jupiter, Juno, Mercury and Vesta have become as familiar to us as the streets of ancient Rome were to Montaigne. Vet we cannot help being captivated by the multitude of household gods, local agricultural gods and allegorical gods that give Roman mythology its special flavour, with whom the author has wisely chosen to begin this book. Among these so-called minor divinities, the one I would choose to remember is not Vertumnus, who represented change and metamorphosis, but rather Terminus. He stands for the boundary that the Romans wrongly sought to overstep through excess, but above all, he embodies the limit that could never confine their rich, still living mythology.
