Excerpt from Roman Historical Sources and Institutions
Since the time of Niebuhr the mythical character of the early Roman history has been generally conceded, though there has been much difference of opinion as to the amount of truth which may lie concealed under the individual myths. Many of these, the so-called aetiological myths, have been proved to be nothing more than popular explanations of names, places and customs, the true origin of which had been forgotten. Others have not yielded so readily to the attempts of investigators, but none have escaped scrutiny. Among them all the myth of Tarpeia presents perhaps the most varied problem. Of the many scholars, who have mentioned or discussed this myth, we may name the following: Niebuhr, Schwenk, Schwegler, Mommsen, Pfund, Lewis, Zeyss, Corssen, Krahner, Preuner, Lutjohann, Ihne, Tuerk, Rohde, Jordan, Preller and Marquardt.
