There have been historical accounts of children being suckled by wolves. But I present another, if less flattering possibility. The Latin word lupa, in addition to meaning a "she-wolf" was also a derogatory term for a prostitute.

Really? I impressed that the Romans said anything derogatory about prostitutes....

On a more serious note, if this trend keeps up, next thing you know, someone will excavate Troy...oh, wait...

We shouldn’t necessarily look to the academics for truth on these things. They are often wrong.
