The Flood
Towards the end of the Age of Bronze the human world became very
cruel.
Men grew hungry,impolite and ungodly.Neither rightn or law was
respected any longer,and the rule of hospitality was forgotten.Dressed up
in human form,Zeus visited Arcadia andThessaly,and disliked the deadly
wrongs of men .He decidedto clear the earth of them all.Without
hesitation he released therainy south wind and called upon the heartless
Poseidon to help.Soon the whole world sank in a vast ocean, and the
entire humanrace disappeared in the unheard of flood,all but two poor
Thessalians .
These were an old childless couple,kind and faithful and contented
with life.The man was called Deucalion and his wife Pyrrha.Son of
Prometheus,Deucalion had been warned beforehand by his father of the
coming flood and made himself a hugechest.When the roaring flood came
the couple hid themselves init and floated for nine days until it touched
land again on Mt Parnassus.
The once active world presented a frightening sight.It was all death
and ruin.Feeling lonely and unsafe,the old coupleprayed to the gods for
help.A sage instructed them to cast the bones of their mother about .The
son of the wise Titan, havingguessed the true meaning of the mysterious
command, started throwing stones behind him. A miracle occurred. The
stonesthat the man cast became men;the stones that the woman
threwturned into women.Since then,people appeared on the land
again.The Heroic Age had begun.

Wolf and Lamb
Wolf, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay
violent hands on him, but to find some plea, which should justify to the
Lamb himself his right to eat him. He thus addressed him:;Sirrah, last year
you grossly insulted me.; ;Indeed,; bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of
voice, ;I was not then born.; Then said the Wolf, ;You feed in my pasture.;
;No, good sir,; replied the Lamb, ;I have not yet tasted grass.; Again
said the Wolf, ;You drink of my well.; ;No,; exclaimed the Lamb, ;I never
yet drank water, for as yet my mother′s milk is both food and drink to
me.; On which the Wolf seized him, and ate him up, saying, ;Well! I won′t
remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my
imputations.;The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.
