#MythologyMonday: Rome‘s emperor was haunted by a dream in which a pig was crowned with jewels. The dream told him that only a wild man could interpret it. The great magician #Merlin interpreted the dream. Rome’s empress was in fact a pig who had engaged in shape-shifting, and her offspring were not really knights but piglets. In horror, the emperor had her killed.
