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 Rome. She thinks this is because Spartacus probably wants to conquer the whole Rome, revenge, and take up wealth.
Second, the author of the reading holds the opinion that Spartacus is a military genius that 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 widely practice anti-slavery. 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.
