Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Lucas Russo is an up-and-coming author with an extensive background in world mythology. His love for writing is made richer by the inspiration he gleans from traveling — from working with classicists in Greece to deep-diving into esoteric cultures in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.

His passion for putting his own spin on history and compelling historic events, combined with his colorful experiences, makes Lucas’ work uniquely compelling. From bestselling “Unocovering Greek Mythology” to “Uncovering Norse Mythology” and more.

When he’s not writing or traveling, Lucas indulges in self-development endeavors that not only enrich his life further, but also fortifies his zest for the world, its people, and the stories yet to be told.

He also pursues a thriving career as an engineer, runs several Facebook mythology groups, voraciously reads books about his various interests, and provides group classes on mythology. However, if it were truly up to him, Lucas would spend most of his free time with his lovely canine companion, Mimosa.

This book was just what I wanted for a reference on the different players in Roman Mythology and this book also cross-references the Greek counterparts. Those gods exclusive to the Romans are also highlighted. Further, it is written in a way that is easy to read and easy to absorb. Jeopardy exposed my deficits in this knowledge so this is just what I needed to fill in my gaps in mythology!

Russo's 'Uncovering Roman Mythology' is a captivating beginner's guide into Roman Mythology. His writing style is clear and easy to understand, like all his other guides. This delves into the world of Roman Gods and mythical creatures with vivid descriptions. The inclusion of lesser-known myths and a glossary make it a valuable read for both beginners and mythology enthusiasts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great mythology book by Lucas Russo
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2023

As someone who’s always been mesmerized by the labyrinthine corridors of mythology, I found “Uncovering Roman Mythology” not just a book, but a portal. It’s as if Lucas Russo, the maestro of mythological storytelling, has extended a personal invitation to delve into the heart of Roman lore.

Remember those childhood days when the tales of Roman deities seemed like distant, almost untouchable legends? This book takes those rudimentary threads and weaves them into a tapestry so rich and vivid, it feels like rediscovering these myths for the first time. King Jupiter’s might, Queen Juno’s regality, and the assorted wonders of the Roman Pantheon are not just narrated; they are brought to life in a manner that resonates deeply with our contemporary souls.

But it’s not just about the gods and goddesses. Russo skillfully navigates through the mischiefs, the heroics, and the oft-untold sagas of mythical creatures, tying them ingeniously to the fabric of ancient Roman society. His exploration into how these myths influenced politics and literature is nothing short of revelatory.

What truly sets this book apart is its ability to make mythology feel relevant. The escapades of the Trojans, the trials of the Sabines, and the countless other stories are presented in a way that makes you see their echoes in today’s world. Russo doesn’t just tell stories; he shows how these ancient beliefs mirror the uncontrollable elements of modern life, from nature’s whims to the complexities of human emotion.

“Uncovering Roman Mythology” is more than just a book. It’s a journey, a revelation, and a call to rekindle your childhood fascination with mythology. Whether you’re a lifelong enthusiast or a curious newcomer, this book is your gateway to understanding the immortal tales that shaped a civilization. Grab your copy, and prepare to be enthralled by the world of Roman mythology like never before!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Reference for Mythology Buffs
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2024

As a big fan of the Percy Jackson series, which got me hooked into Greek and Roman mythology, this book makes for a very helpful resource on the subject. Its easy to get the Gods and their stories and mythologies confused, so I will be refering back to this book often. The main purpose of the book was to make the case that the Romans didn't just take the greek Gods, change their names and claim them for themselves. The author shows not only the difference in how the Gods were viewed and worshipped in each culture, but the vast amount of Gods and storylines that belonged to Roman mythology alone.

Wanted a book of mythology for my kid to read, but this is just a guide. Like reading cliff notes. It would bore him to tears and not interest him at all. Total waste of money unless used for reference.

The book is a fairly comprehensive resource on the subject of Roman gods and one I will most likely refer to regularly. It was hard to read in one sitting, as it reads like an encyclopedia. I particularly like the way he refutes the common misconception that the Roman gods were merely Greek ones by a different name. A valuable resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best short reference book on the subject
Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2024
Verified Purchase
I really like this book because it's really comprehensive, and it doesn't start from the assumption that Roman mythology is just Greek mythology with wrong names. Roman religion was syncretist, absorbing Etruscan, Greek, animistic cults, Middle Eastern "great mother" cults, Mithraism ... even, in a sense, Christianity. So this is not a retelling of Greek myths. It's more like a checklist of all the pantheons prevalent in Roman times. Goddesses like Cloacina, the great sewer goddess, get equal time, as well as the deified abstractions like Liberty and Justice. Really useful.

This is a fascinating little book, ideal as a reference book, it is one you can keep going back to when you want to check who was who in the Roman world. As someone brought up on Greek mythology as a child, I, too, rather thought that Roman gods and goddesses were just the Greek ones undergoing an identity crisis, but now I see there is so much more to them.
