This ruler’s grandfather or great-grandfather supposedly taught Etruscans to read and write after fleeing Corinth. This ruler took refuge with Aristodemus of Cumae after a battle in which Castor and Pollux purportedly fought against him. A ruler of (*) Clusium took advantage of this man’s deposition to launch an invasion that set up the legendary exploits of Horatius Cocles at the Pons Sublicius. This ruler’s sons went to the Oracle with a man who then kissed the Earth to secure his succession; that man was Lucius Junius Brutus For 10 points, Lucretia was raped by the son of what final King of Rome? ■END■
