I was just attempting a bit of irony based on the myth that Romulus and Remus were the great grandsons of the king of Alba- their mother was a temple virgin whose twin boys were sired by the god Mars. Like a lot of these stories there uncle the king order them killed but the man charged with the job just couldn't do it and just abandoned them on the Tiber. A she wolf found them and nursed them, a woodpecker fed them and a shepherd and his wife raised them.

I've never read Tom Robbins- Looking at a list of his novels that must be from Skinny Legs and All. The imagery is nearly psychedelic.
