(68) A sister comments on her brother protecting and then nurturing a wolf cub which an eagle let fall into his arms

On the evening of May 22nd 1991 I for some reason thought back to an incident I had first seen on TV in 1977. It was from Episode 3 of the BBC drama series I, Claudius. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I,_Claudius 

An eagle flies over some people and lets fall a wolf cub which is caught by the young Claudius. This is interpreted by a visiting soothsayer as a portent: he sees the cub as Rome, all torn and bleeding, but it will be protected by Claudius. See 11:30 here -

Claudius’ sister shrieks with laughter at the idea of him ever achieving such a status. But he does go on to become Emperor. And, as that scene ends, asks his mother if he may take care of the wolf cub. 

The following evening I was watching the Question Time TV programme. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Question_Time A panelist said that some years previously her brother had caught in his arms a wolf cub that had been let fall by an eagle. He had then nurtured it and raised it.
