In one of the most famous stories from the
Noctes Atticae, Aulus Gellius tells the story of Androclus: while escaping slavery, Androclus encounters an injured lion and pulls a thorn out of its paw—a good deed which is not forgotten. Aulus Gellius writes in an engaging and approachable style, using many rare and interesting words.
This reader includes several appendices, including:
- The passages in the Noctes Atticae that precede and follow this one, in Latin and English
- Other versions of the story of Androclus from Aelian's On Animals (2nd cent. C.E.), the Gesta Romanorum (13th cent.), and from Dai Fu's Guangyi Ji (8th cent.).
