Arethusa25.1 (Spring 1992): 173
I'm looking for this document as it seems to cover the various mockeries conferred by the early Church fathers upon the Gods of Rome, seemingly taking their sources from Varro's works. This is a bit later than what this site normally covers, however I find it rather intriguing, and it's sad how nowadays people only think of Roman deities as Roman versions of a handful of Greek Gods. I've been reading Ovid's Fasti, among other things, and it's really fascinating stuff.
