Extrait du document
Roman A heroine of considerable
fame. As the poet Ovid told her story, Claudia
had a bad reputation among the citizens of Rome
for wearing too much makeup and fancy hairdos.
People spread rumors that she was not a virgin. She
was a follower of Cybele, a Greek goddess of fertility.
When the citizens of Rome decided to bring the cult
of Cybele to Italy, they sent a ship to Greece to bring
back a statue of the goddess. When the ship returned,
it became caught in the mud of the riverbank. Claudia
stepped out of the waiting crowd, prayed loudly to
Cybele to bring her strength, but only if Claudia was
innocent of the accusations people made and worthy
of the goddess's love. Then Claudia gave a great tug at
the rope fastened to the ship and freed the ship from
the mud. She became the leader of a new Roman cult.
