Oops, looks like I’ve mislabelled my IQs IQ1: Did you have a legendary naming dispute with your brother, including an attempt to resolve matters by chance which failed due to not agreeing the ground rules beforehand, that ultimately concluded with your name being used? IQ2: Were you the other brother involved in said dispute? IQ3: Did your nude paintings inspire the use of your name to describe the body type commonly portrayed therein? That’s better. ---

The bros were Romulus and Remus. However, it turns out I misrembered the legend and the dispute was not over what to call the city that ultimately became known as Rome, but rather over which hill to found it on. Because I may have rendered the question misleading by using incorrect information, I withdraw it and do not claim a DQ. ---
