Theologia tripertita
Xenophanes of Colophon (sixth century BCE ) famously observed that if horses had gods, their gods would look like horses. This observation was provoked by the moral frailty of Homer's too human gods, and growing critical scrutiny of anthropomorphic religious practices in general. As philosophers came to define a world of universal laws, Homeric‐style deities indulging themselves on Olympos became increasingly suspect.
Consus and Consualia
While modern scholars have interpreted Consus as a harvest deity, the Romans identified him as a divine counselor to the King (Livy 1.9; Dion. Hal. Ant.Rom . 2.31.3).
Stimulos Dedit Aemula Virtus
THE LITERARY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN Lucan and Homer is a vexed question, and, despite considerable scholarly effort, apparently not a very profitable one. Yet Lucan himself makes his ambitions as an epic poet very clear in Book 9 of the Pharsalia. In this justly famous passage, Caesar, having left the battlefield of Pharsalia and the rotting piles of corpses, interrupts his pursuit of Pompey through the east with a stop at Troy to tour the ruins
