• Romulus • Remus • Rhea- Mother of Romulus and Remus. • Mars- God of War that married Rhea. • Faustulus- Farmer that took the boys in.

• Romulus and Remusʼs mother set them adrift on the river. Then a shewolf came and picked the boys up. Then a farmer came along and took the kids. When they got older the twins decided to build a city on the shore of Tiber. Both the twins wanted to be kings, so they started to fight and Romulus picked up a rock and killed his brother Remus. That is how Rome came to be.
• I thought it was interesting that Romulus and Remus was raised by wolves.

Zeus chained Prometheus to a mountain and got his liver eaten by a bird. Hephaestus created the first woman called Pandora and gave her a box and she could never open it.
