Trivia: What Roman writers depicted Roman gods in poems and stories?
Plato and Homer
Cato and Cicero
Ovid and Virgil
Herodotus and Suetonius
The correct answer is Ovid and Virgil
So why is this answer correct? : Much of Rome’s mythology derives from ancient Greece, and few Romans added chapters to these divine dramas. Chief among them was Virgil (70 BCE to 19 BCE), whose epic poem “Aeneid,” tells the story of the legendary Trojan Aeneas as he flees his city’s destruction before setting the course of Rome’s founding. Additionally, the narrative poem “Metamorphoses” comes from the mind of the Roman poet Ovid (43 BCE to c. 17 CE) and covers everything from the creation of the world to the rise of the Roman Empire.
