We went to a museum in Rome [The museums at Capitoline hill, above the Forum-K]. Did you know what museums in Rome are like? Here are some pictures from the museum. I'll tell you which one is which.
[Below] This is the she-wolf with Romulus and Remus. She raised them because Mars told her to take care of them. It happened a long time ago, before Rome was founded by Romulus.
Here is another picture. This is baby Hercules. Legend says that Hercules was the baby of the king of the Gods, Zeus. After Hercules' mother died, the step-mother put two snakes in his cradle. Eventually, he killed the snakes.
These are griffins. They each have two lion feet, a lion tail, and the rest is an eagle body.
[Below] Do you know who that is? Do you think it is Zeus? I do, too.

Hello Danielle,
That was so interesting!
I did not know that it was Mars who asked the wolverine to take care of Romus and Romulus! I though they had gotten lost in the woods and that the wolverine found them and took them in. You are a wonderful teacher!

Thanks grand-ma Denise.
