You know you've heard it... should know what it is about. Something about wolves raising babies??
Even better...
According to my source for clarification for everything... Wikipedia explains:
Rome, you've heard of it, right? Well, there was a king, the "rightful" heir to a "TITLE", you know, an assignment
that makes folks feel like they are better than you and me?? Anyway, this guy was the second cousin in-law to a
distant relative to the twice removed uncle to a Trojan. His maternal GRANDFATHER was a Trojan decendant of a
prince who was the father of Ilia... we'll call her Mom. Ok, before Ilia (Mom) conceives the true heirs to the whatever kingdom, the brother of the GRANDFATHER kills him. The brother is named Amulius (who killed Grandpa) and also
kills Grandpa's sons... ok that would be his (Amulius') nephews. Somehow, all this makes sense to those who would be
Romans...
SO, killing Grandpa forces Mom (Ilia) to become a "Vestal Virgin" (look it up) and she gives birth to twin boys (rumor has it, Mars is the dad. Yeah, Mars the god, or DEMI-god Hercules.) {Frankly, I am thinking someone had to be high to believe this stuff...} Guess you had to be there to understand the difference between a god and demi-god.
So, Mom gives birth to the twins, and nasty uncle Amulius leaves the twin boys (who are the heirs to what will become Rome) out in the boonies... exposed to die. They are saved by a series of "miraculous interventions" starting with a she-wolf who suckles them, saving their lives because she is a wolf, who is the bitch of all dogs and you have to earn the right to HUG HER.
