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.
Firs，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 reading asserts some stories and reasons that make Spartacus a hero for people. The lecturer, however, finds the reports dubious and casts doubt on the reasons proposed by the reading passage.
The author argues that Spartacus's first goal was to return homelands. Conversely, the lecturer brings up the fact that returning home was not the only goal of Spartacus and his men. History states that after He won the first battle, there was a root which they could escape from. But Spartacus and his army marched toward the city to conquer it. This action showed that they were interested in revenge and wealth. These goals are not valuable.
Furthermore, the reading passage holds the view that Spartacus was respected because he won his first battle. He had fewer soldiers than the Romans, and he won the battle because of his military brilliance. On the contrary, the speaker underlines the fact that he won a few battles not because he was a war genius but because Romans underestimated him. At first, the Romans sent a poor army to defeat Spartacus, and he overcame these poor units. But, when the Romans sent their best soldiers, Spartacus was easily defeated.
Finally, the reading states that Spartacus was respected because he wanted to free all the slaves. He even didn't accept the Romans' tempting offer to keep fighting against slavery. In contrast, the speaker dismisses this issue due to the fact that this story is not original. Europeans in the 18th century had some anti-slavery groups. These groups created this story to have an inspirational hero for their movement. They wrote a play where Spartacus wanted to liberate all the enslaved people, and people thought it happened.
