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.
According to the passage, Spartacus was a hero that defeated the Roman army and liberated slaves. However, the professor in the listening opposes this notion, pointing out the inaccuracies of each point made in the passage.
Firstly, while the passage states that everyone appreciate Spartacus because his initial goal in the conflict against Rome was to return home, the lecturer argues that returning home was not the only goal that Spartacus had. Instead, he created a route towards the city of Rome, indicating that seeking revenge and wealth was his real goal.
Secondly, the article claims that despite the fact that Spartacus had only a small and poor army, he still succeeded in fighting against the large and well-equipped Roman army, which earned him admiration from people. However, the professor rebuts that it was not true. He mentions that the initial success of Spartacus was simply because the Roman did not deal with the rebel seriously; after they realize the seriousness of the problem, Roman sent the best soldiers to fight against Spartacus, when Spartacus was defeated.
Finally, the passage contends that Spartacus wanted to free all the slaves and advocate for human rights, making him admired by the public. In contrast, the professor maintains that it was just a story made by a playwright back to the 18th century Europe. At that time, the anti-slavery movement needed a hero to demonstrate their efforts, so Spartacus was selected and was written into a play that passed on by history.
