Lupa

Recently I found out that the giant wolf (Lupa) that suckled Romulus and Remus was actually a goddess in Greek/Roman mythology but I couldn't find out were she fits in on the family tree. If anyone knows who Lupa's parents are could you tell me. If I get this information I could write a page on her here.
Thanks!

Also known as Luperca - http://www.mythindex.com/roman-mythology/L/Luperca.html

Luperca was sometimes associated with Diana, but otherwise I can't find any known parents.

Well, all roman heros went throught this initiation. Lupa would decide if they were worthy of heroism or not. 0  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?
