Emperors provided influence and power on the people by using mythology and literature. In this article, firstly, the issue of using mythology and literature as an ideological element was mentioned. Then, in the period of Emperor Augustus, how mythology turned into an ideological tool and how this case was visualized in art and coins were studied. How this propaganda, that became concrete with mythology, was strengthened with literature was explained. Examples from the works of Augustus period’s authors were examined. How these authors supported the ideological image and policies of Augustus was revealed. As a result, the background of the use of mythology and literature as ideological elements was examined.
