Greek Myth?


At the end of the movie, the biological mom tells the story of a Greek myth relating to why she is letting Janie go back. Does anyone know what the myth is?

it wasn't a greek myth. it was from the bible. the story where two women are fighting over a baby, claiming it is both of theirs so the king order for the baby to be cut in half and one woman says no, the other woman can have the baby so then the king gives the baby to the woman who told him not to cut the baby in half because the real mother would give up her child if it was in the baby's best interest.

"It is a bad plan if includes the phrase 'then inspire an uprising of the people'."
