Abstract
-
en_US
A very nice book. There is a great illustration of Androcles encountering the lion for the first time and seeing his huge teeth. With eyes wide open he reels backward. Another great illustration comes soon afterwards, when the lion sleeps with Androcles likewise asleep against the lion's side and back. The two live together peacefully for three years. When Androcles is captured, the lion is nowhere to be seen. Androcles' master rejects him and lets him be taken to Rome to be thrown to the beasts in the Circus Maximus. Tiberius surprises me twice when he first lets the people decide Androcles' fate and again when he then has Tiberius' story written on tablets and carried about the circus. An author's note traces the story from Apion through Aulus Gellius into print.
