Also, Shakespear Act II, Scene 2 of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar.

"Caesar. The gods do this in shame of cowardice: Caesar should be a beast without a heart,1020 If he should stay at home to-day for fear. No, Caesar shall not: danger knows full well That Caesar is more dangerous than he: We are two lions litter'd in one day, And I the elder and more terrible:1025 And Caesar shall go forth."

Yes Romulus and Remus, in myth/legend (Could be tr00, who knows) are raised by a She-wolf. Romulus went on to build Rome.
