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.
The passage presents three exciting aspects of Spartacus that make him a glorious hero. However, based on the listening, the professor admits that Spartacus indeed fight against Rome but all the stories mentioned in the passage are inaccurate.
First, the reading claims that the original goal of Spartacus is to get back home. However, the professor in the lecture contradicts what the reading states. She argues that get back home is was the only goal of Spartacus, if so, after he defeats the Rome army he could have escape rather than margin towards to Rome. She thinks this is because Spartacus probably wants to conquer The Whole Rome, revenge, and take up wealthy.
Second, the author of the reading hold the opinion that Spartacus is a military genius that he lead a poor troop to cause serious trouble to the Romans on the battlefield. But the professor in the lecture refutes this point by point out the fact that the Romans didn't take him seriously from the very beginning, they only send poorly-trained and badly-equipped soldiers. Furthermore, when Spartacus meets the best troops of Rome, he quickly loses the battle.
Finally, from the reading, we learn that Spartacus is regarded as the early human rights advocate for his fight for liberating all Roman slaves. In contrast, the listening asserts that this is not back by any serious evidence. Actually, this story was created by the people who are widely practice anti-slavary. They want a character as an ancient hero to inspire people to fight again this system. So it's just a historic play created by a playwright without referencing any truth.
