I sometimes wonder if perhaps Rome was founded by two dudes who absolutely drank wolf milk

I sometimes wonder if those dudes were the sons of mars

Okay, but here me out. What if all the soldiers of Thebes (the kinda coolish Greek one, not the hella coolish Egyptian one) were just the teeth of dragons, and they fought one another until only the strongest survived, and then those survivors became a middling city state that still got Spartans to STFU about being based at long last?

were just the teeth of dragons, and they fought one another until only the strongest survived,

then the dragon wakes up to find it's been grinding its teeth again

The Rome is stored in the wolf

Nah, founding can only be done by one person unless you have paper to do it with (like the Founding Fathers), so chances are they fought to the death first

That is literally the mythos, yes.

[The joke is that we're reinventing the same myth]
