Lares

Thank the Lares and Penates that Howard Fast wrote Spartacus for similar reasons.

The third was much the same as the more modern Lares and Penates, and superintended dwelling-houses and families.

The Lares were also worshiped by the Roman family, though they were quite unknown to the Greeks.

Matt represented to Rupert the Lares and Penates his emotional nature required and had been denied.

The Lares and Penates themselves were very small objects to look at, whatever may have been the thoughts they suggested.

I was somewhere about sixteen when, on going home for the holidays, I found my mother's brother settled among the household Lares.
