I’ve read of how emperors wove myths to cement authority, tales of divine ancestry and supernatural omens—it's fascinating how narrative shapes politics.

I’m drawn to the myth of Romulus and Remus, the twin founders of Rome. It’s a neat blend of divine favor, sibling rivalry, and the birth of a city, all wrapped in a tale that explains why Rome saw itself as destined for greatness. It shows how myth can legitimize power and rally people around a shared narrative. Maybe we could twist that story into something that feels more personal—perhaps a modern city’s origin, framed as a myth about two founders who were separated by a storm and reunited through a shared dream. What do you think?
