Romulus and Remus
Romulus and Remus
"What better powerful female representation than the she-wolf that adopted Romulo and Remo? If you could choose an animal to be your mother, I guess you wouldn't choose a wolf, would you? While Ariana is on all fours, three men are touching her torso, instead of being breastfed like the twins in the Capitaline Wolf sculpture. This icon became a symbol of the Romans, according to mythology."

Cerberus
Cerberus
In Greek mythology, Cerberus often called the "hound of Hades", is a multi-headed dog that guards the gates of the Underworld to prevent the dead from leaving. Cerberus was the offspring of the monsters Echidna and Typhon, and is usually described as having three heads, a serpent for a tail, and snakes protruding from multiple parts of his body. Cerberus is primarily known for his capture by Heracles, one of Heracles' twelve labours.

Gaia
Gaia
In Greek mythology, Gaia is the personification of the Earth and one of the Greek primordial deities. Gaia is the ancestral mother of all life: the primal Mother Earth goddess. She is the immediate parent of Uranus (the sky), from whose sexual union she bore the Titans (themselves parents of many of the Olympian gods) and the Giants, and of Pontus (the sea), from whose union she bore the primordial sea gods. Her equivalent in the Roman pantheon was Terra.
