...were the children of Rhea Silvia and Mars (or in some variations the demi-god hero Hercules). Romulus and Remus are best known for being the founders of the city of Rome. Their story is recorded by many authors including Virgil who claims their birth and adventures were fated in order for Rome to be founded. The Birth & Parentage of Romulus & Remus Romulus and Remus were the direct descendants of Aeneas, whose fate-driven adventures to discover Italy are described by Virgil in The Aeneid. Romulus and Remus were related to Aeneas through their mother's father, Numitor. Numitor was a king of Alba Longa, an ancient city of Latium in central Italy, and father to Rhea Silvia. Before Romulus' and Remus' conception, Numitor's reign was usurped by Nimitor's younger brother, Amulius. Amulius inherited control over Alba Longa's treasury with which he was able to dethrone Numitor and become king. Amulius, wishing to avoid any conflict of power, killed Nimitor's male heirs and forced Rhea Silvia to become a Vestal Virgin. Vestal Virgins were priestesses of Vesta, patron goddess of the hearth; they were charged with keeping a sacred fire that was never to be extinguished and to take vows of chastity. There is much debate and variation as to whom was the father of Romulus and Remus. Some myths claim that Mars appeared and lay with Rhea Silvia; other myths attest that the demi-god hero Hercules was her partner. However, the author Livy claims that Rhea Silvia was in fact raped by an unknown...

...brother and claim the throne as his. Rhea Silvia who was the daughter of Nimitor, was also the mother of Romulus and Remus. Amulius wanted to avoid conflict of power of any sort, and so he killed all his elder brother’s male heirs, Also to prevent from any more being born, he made Rhea Silvia become a Vestal Virgin. A Vestal Virgin is a priestess of Vesta, the patron goddess of the hearth, and they are out in charge of a so called ‘sacred’ fire that cannot, under any circumstances, be extinguished, and live a life of celibacy. Rhea Silvia was found to be pregnant, and the father of Romulus and Remus is not known for a fact. In the many different versions of the legend comes with different ideas of the father of the twins. The possible fathers could be Mars, God of War, or Hercules, the half god, but most likely what happened is that she was raped by an unknown man. To cover that the fact she might have been raped or some other circumstance, and to protect her life and the life of the unborn child (child; singular because at this time they could not tell if a woman was to have a multiple pregnancy), Rhea Silvia claimed that her pregnancy was of divine nature. Normally when a woman broke the vows of celibacy of being a Vestal Virgin they had to suffer punishment, and the punishment is death by being buried alive. Amulius believed that a god (Mars or Hercules) to be the father, and did not want to be punished for killing Rhea Silvia and the unborn child. So Amulius waited to...

...Literary Criticism The Two Gentlemen of Verona The Two Gentlemen of Verona is a comedy about the adventures of two bosom buddies, Valentine and Proteus. When Proteus falls in love with his best friend's girlfriend, the guys find themselves torn between the bonds of male friendship and romance. (If you're thinking all this sounds like a modern day "bromantic comedy," you're right. Two Gentlemen of Verona is the great, great grandfather of buddy flicks like the 2009 comedy I Love You Man.) Written as early as 1590-91, Two Gentlemen appears to be William Shakespeare's first play. (As usual, some literary critics are divided over this issue, but we're going with the editors of The Norton Shakespeare and the editors of The Oxford Shakespeare on this one.) As Shakespeare's first theatrical effort, Two Gentlemenhas been referred to as a "limping forerunner" of Shakespeare's later works. Even famous literary scholar Harold Bloom says it's "the weakest of all Shakespeare's comedies." We, on the other hand, prefer to think of Two Gentlemen as Shakespeare's test kitchen, where a budding young playwright begins to work out the recipe for his "comedies" and begins to explore themes and conventions that he'll develop more fully in later works – particularly the themes of male friendship and heterosexual love, which come into conflict in plays like The Merchant of Veniceand also in Shakespeare's collection of Sonnets. Like all test kitchen creations, Two Gentlemen is far from perfect...

...in poverty because it helps them to understand the disadvantages of their poor life in comparison to the rich and shows that effective knowledge is the way to overcome poverty. Additionally, a proper education can inspire children to strive even harder for their success. In “The Lesson”, the author reveals to the reader the disadvantages of poverty in relationship to wealth through Ms. Moore's lesson. Ms. Moore chooses to take a group of children to the luxury FAO Schwarz toy store in order to show them the difference between rich and poor lives. She knows that the trip is only a chance to let children see another side of life in the same city and helps them realize the disadvantages of their poor life. Through the narration of Silvia, a leader of the group, a reader can imagine the low quality of the children’s lives. At the beginning of the trip Moore talks to the children about the value of money. She discusses the amount of money their parents make, and how much their lifestyle requires to spend: “So we heading down the street and she's boring us silly about what things cost and what our parents make and how much goes for rent.” (348). Moore points out the level of poverty in which the children live. It becomes more evident when the children describe their study areas at home. Just one of the children has a desk which can...

In reference to Rome’s ancient mythology, the founding of Rome was based on two stories that empower their predecessor Romulus and Remus.

Probably, you will discuss with the people at the same level in the company like your own.

Agenda is used but is not followed too strictly. • During introduction business partner usually shake their hands. • Printed material (including...
