Spartacus, the rebel leader who fought against the Romans with an army of fellow escaped slaves, is one of the most famous figures in ancient Roman history. Spartacus led his men against their Roman oppressors and managed to defeat the Roman army in several battles. Eventually Spartacus and his army were defeated and put to death. To this day, Spartacus fascinates both historians and the general public. Several aspects about his story have made him a particularly appealing hero.
First, Spartacus’ original goal in his conflict against Rome is one everyone can empathize with—he wanted to return home. Spartacus and his men had been taken by the Romans from faraway lands. In fighting the Romans, Spartacus and his men initially sought to return to the homelands from which they had been uprooted. Spartacus and his men’s desire to return home is one we can all appreciate.
Second, Spartacus’ initial success in fighting against the powerful Roman army has earned him the admiration people feel when someone who is overmatched triumphs through sheer skill. Spartacus and his men formed a relatively small, ill-equipped army; the Roman army, in contrast, was large, well-financed, and highly trained. Spartacus’ ability to seriously trouble the Romans on the battlefield testifies to his military brilliance, making him a hero in most people’s eyes.
Third, in fighting against Rome, Spartacus sought to liberate all Roman slaves and thus commanded respect as an early human rights advocate. Before his final battle with the Romans, Spartacus was sent an offer by a Roman general: if Spartacus would stop fighting, he would be made a Roman senator, a member of Rome’s powerful elite, and his men would be freed. However, Spartacus rejected this offer because it would have left the institution of slavery in place.
Both the lecture and reading passage are discussing Spartacus, the rebel leader who fought against Romans. The former is of the opinion that he is not a hero rather just an inspirational play hero. While the latter provides three reasons in support of it.
To begin with, the first issue we encounter is associated with his urge to go back home with his fellows. The professor highlights that it's not accurate that he wanted to get back home because when he was released from the Romans and had the opportunity to return home, he didn't utilize it rather travel further more towards them to take the revenge. On the other hand, the text posits that he has a strong will to return home.
Moreover, another topic of the debate revolves around his sheer skills. The speaker points out that he initially won against the Romans because they didn't take him seriously. Furthermore, they allocated weak soldiers and when their trained army was there he got defeated. However, the author mentions that Sparcatus had very fine fighting skills and strategies.
Thirdly, the final point of discussion is connected with liberation of all slaves. The lecture claims that in the 18th century people widely followed slavery. They wanted to have some anti-slavery hero, so Spartacus is just an inspirational play character instead of some heroic character. Nevertheless, the passage states that he was a powerful slave liberation figure.
