This goddess is a great reminder of the wolf’s ability to both nurture and be tough. She not only nurtured the brothers who would launch Rome, she also is said to have trained other Roman hero’s so they would be cunning and fearless in battle. Her name was Lupa, and immortal she-goddess of the Romans. Legend has it that the two founding brothers were raised and suckled by a she-wolf.
