What is Remus : a Roman myth about?

Romulus Founded Rome - But Why Does The Myth Give Him A Twin Brother Remus, Who Is Killed At The Moment Of The Foundation? This Mysterious Legend Has Been Oddly Neglected. Roman Historians Ignore It As Irrelevant To Real History; Students Of Myth Concentrate On The More Glamorous Mythology Of Greece, And Treat Roman Stories As Of Little Interest. In This Book, Professor Wiseman Provides, For The First Time, A Detailed Analysis Of All The Variants Of The Story, And A Historical Explanation For Its Origin And Development. His Conclusions Offer Important New Insights, Both Into The History And Ideology Of Pre-imperial Rome And Into The Methods And Motives Of Myth-creation In A Non-literate Society. In The Richly Unfamiliar Rome Of Pan, Hermes And Circe The Witch-goddess, Where A General Grows Miraculous Horns And Prophets Demand Human Sacrifice, Remus Stands For The Unequal Struggle Of The Many Against The Powerful Few. A Too Familiar Story -- Multiform And Manifold -- When And Where -- What The Greeks Said -- Italian Evidence -- The Lupercalia -- The Arguments -- The Life And Death Of Remus -- The Uses Of A Myth -- The Other Rome -- Appendix. Versions Of The Foundation Of Rome. T.p.
