    It’s Cain and Abel, I don’t know why the title is referencing Romulus and Remus.

      Because Romulus killed Remus in a dispute over where to locate the city

        Yes, I’m aware of that, but it’s hardly the only case of mythological fratricide. What I’d like to know is why is it referencing specifically the founding of Rome instead of any of the other examples. Chiefly, why not just reference the story the art piece originally referenced (which to my knowledge is Cain and Abel.)

            I’m genuinely just curious. I default to ultra-formal and specific.
