1. Outline briefly the story of the founding of Rome in Livy and Plutarch. What sources do they

2. Discuss literary parallels for elements of the legend of the founding of Rome. Are there any
unique elements to the Romulus and Remus legend?
3. To what extent is the Roman foundation legend shaped by Greek mythological motifs?
