#14 Brutus, Bending the Prophecy to His Wishes

Long time before removing the last king of Rome and making himself the founder of Roman Republic and among the first consuls of Rome, Brutus went to the oracle of Delphi along with the sons of the last Roman King Tarquinius Superbus. The sons asked the oracle who the next king will be, and the oracle told them that the man that kissed his mother first, will become the next king. Hearing the prophecy, Brutus pretended like he was traveling, then kissed the earth, showing that he interpreted his mother as Gaia.
