  • Link for further reading about Commodus

    This link is found on the online encyclopedia of Roman Emperors, and it goes through Commodus' life from birth to his ignoble assassination. Very interesting depiction to further this paper. Even great academicians agree that Commodus was a megalomaniac to the extreme.The movie derived some facets from true history, however, it in wholly inadequate, as you can see from this article. Commodus was actually a very good fighter/gladiator, he used to do it just to get the roar and approval from the crowd.http://www.roman-emperors.org/commod.htm

  • Just wanted to say that...

    This essay is very factual. It caught my eye because i am a Yoruba person and i wanted to be able to pick apart the essay. However, the author did a really good job in perpetuating the myths and beliefs of the Yorubas. Very good background information too.

  • Great Paper

    I found the comparisons between Jesus and Socrates different yet salient. The history you gave into Greece and the city states Athens and Sparta helped me understand the whole force behind Socrates' life and death. It was enjoyable reading and had a little of everything, great job.
