In Rome's founding myth, the daughter of a king deposed by his brother was forced to become a vestal virgin to prevent her from having children. But Rhea Silvia became pregnant with sons of the god Mars.

IOW, the King's daughter got knocked up out behind the barn, and had to come up with a good cover story.
It was a God! The God Mars did it to me!
Honest!

What? What shepard boy?

Well, we know what Romulus did, so does that mean Rhemus founded the DNC?

Thought the same thing when I read it. Makes total sense. Tell the brother that the god Mars did it so that he wouldn't dare kill the babies. I'd buy it.
