Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Horatius And Other Stories Obtain possession of the spoils and bodies of the slain.' Livy makes the simple statement that the Roman general, in the hour of danger, vowed a temple to Castor. Macaulay, in his Lay, follows the more romantic version of the legend, which ascribes the Roman victory to supernatural agency, - the actual intervention of the Great Twin Breth ren, Castor and Pollux. Here we have another Homeric touch. The imitation of Greek stories was undoubtedly an important element in the Roman legends.
