In Legendary Rivals Jaclyn Neel argues for a new interpretation of
the foundation myths of Rome. Instead of a negative portrayal of
the city's early history, these tales offer a didactic paradigm of
the correct way to engage in competition. Accounts from the
triumviral period stress the dysfunctional nature of the city's
foundation to capture the memory of Rome's civil wars. Republican
evidence suggests a different emphasis. Through diachronic analyses
of the tales of Romulus and Remus, Amulius and Numitor, Brutus and
Collatinus, and Camillus and Manlius Capitolinus, Neel shows that
Romans of the Republic and early Principate would have seen these
stories as examples of competition that pushed the bounds of
propriety.
