Minerva and Arachne

Ovid, the poet, historian, etc., writes about the performances of the Roman gods that may have occurred in the history of mankind in his books all called Metamorphoses.  Well, what kind of performances do the gods do?  They mainly punish (not discipline) the men, women, children that do something that angers the gods.  So therefore the gods inflict negative sanctions on the supposed wrong-doers.

Livy, Ovid, and Rome

Livy and Ovid, both historians on Rome, had sentences that seem to encourage that there was a great future for Rome.  But was there really any proof that there would be?  Dun Dun Dunn!
