Roman Mythology: Gods, Heroes, & Monsters

In the ancient world, both the Romans and the Greeks had stories starring gods, goddesses, heroes and monsters.

A lot of these stories - or 'myths' - were about how the Romans and Greeks thought the universe worked.

They believed the gods and goddesses were responsible for everything: the sun, good harvests, and even wine!
