Rhampsinitus was a Pharaoh. RHAMPSINITUS AND THE THIEVES 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 Rhampsinitus possessed a vast fortune in silver. In order to keep the treasure safe, he had a treasury made. The builder he employed had designs upon the contents and ingeniously contrived to construct the wall in such a way that one of the stone blocks of which it was composed could easily be removed by two men – or even by one. The treasure was kept safe for many years but then the builder, on his death-bed, called his two sons and told them how clever he had been, saying that he had planned the device of the movable stone entirely for their benefit, so that they might live as rich men. Then he gave them the precise measurements and instructions for its removal, and told them that, if only they kept the secret well, they would control the Royal Exchequer as long as they lived. The father died and the sons lost no time in setting to work; they came by night to the palace, found the stone in the treasury wall, took it out easily enough and got away with a good haul of silver. The king, on his next visit to the treasury, was surprised to see that some of the vessels in which the money was stored were no longer full, but as the locks to the treasure house were in perfect order, he was at a loss to find the culprit. When the same thing happened again, and yet again, and he found that each time he visited, the level of the money in the jars had fallen still further (for the thieves persisted in their depredations), he ordered traps to be made and set near the money-jars. The thieves came as usual, and one of them made their way into the chamber; but, as soon as he approached the money-jar he was after, the trap got him. Realising his plight, he at once called out to his brother to tell him what had happened, and begged him to come as quickly as he could and cut off his head, so that the recognition of his dead body should not involve both of them in ruin. The brother, seeing the sense of this request, acted upon it without delay; then, having fitted the stone back in its place, went home taking the severed head with him. On the following morning when the king visited his treasury, imagine his astonishment when he saw in the trap the headless body of the thief, and no sign of damage to the building, or any apparent means of entrance or exit! Much perplexed, he finally decided to have the thief’s body hung up on the wall and a guard posted with orders to arrest and bring before him anyone they might see thereabouts in tears, or showing signs of mourning. Now, the young man’s mother was deeply distressed by this treatment of her dead son’s body, and begged her surviving son to do all he possibly could to think of some way of getting it back, and even threatened, if he refused to listen to her, to go to the king and denounce him as the thief. The young man made many excuses, but to no purpose: his mother continued to pester him until he thought of a way out of the difficulty. He filled some skins with wine and loaded them onto the donkeys, and he drove them to the place where the soldiers were guarding his brother’s corpse. Arrived there, he gave a pull on the necks of two or three of the skins to undo the fastenings. The wine poured out, and he roared and banged his head, as if not knowing which donkey to deal with first, while the soldiers, seeing the wine streaming all over the road, seized their cups and pots and ran out to catch it, congratulating themselves on such a piece of luck. The young man swore at them in pretended rage, which the soldiers did their best to soothe, until finally he changed his tune, and, appearing to have recovered his temper, drove the donkeys out of the road and began to rearrange the wine-skins on their backs. Meanwhile, 4|Page 45 50 55 60 65 70 as he chatted with the soldiers, one of them cracked a joke at his expense and made him laugh, whereupon he made them a present of a wine-skin, and without more ado they all sat down to enjoy themselves, and urged their benefactor to join the party and share the drink. The young man let himself be persuaded, and soon, as cup succeeded cup and the soldiers treated him with increasing familiarity, he gave them another skin. Such a quantity of wine was too much for the guards; very drunk and drowsy, they stretched themselves out full length and fell asleep on the spot. It was now well after dark, and the thief took down his brother’s corpse and, as an insult, shaved the right cheek of each of the guards. Then he put the body on the donkeys’ backs and returned home, having done successfully what his mother demanded. The king was very angry when he learnt that the thief’s body had been stolen, and determined at any cost to catch the man who had been clever enough to bring off such a coup. I find it hard to believe the priests’ account of the means he employed to catch him – but here it is: he sent his own daughter to a brothel with orders to admit all comers, and to compel each applicant, before granting him her favours, to tell her what was the cleverest and wickedest thing that he had ever done; and if anyone told her the story of the thief, she was to get hold of him and not allow him to escape. The girl obeyed her father’s orders, but the thief, when he discovered what the girl was up to, could not resist the temptation to go one better than the king in ingenuity. He cut the hand and arm from the body of a man who had just died, and, putting them under his cloak, went to visit the king’s daughter in the brothel. When she asked him the question which she had asked all the others, he replied that his wickedest deed was to cut off his brother’s head when he was caught on a trap in the king’s treasury, and his cleverest was to make the soldiers drunk, so that he could take down his brother’s body from the wall where it was hanging. The girl immediately clutched at him; but under cover of the darkness, the thief pushed towards her the hand of the corpse, which she seized and held tight in the belief that it was his own. Then, leaving it in her grasp, he made his escape through the door. The cleverness and audacity of this last exploit filled the king with astonishment and admiration; soon after the news of it reached him, he went to every town in Egypt with a promise to the thief, should he give himself up, not only of a free pardon but of a rich reward. The thief trusted him and presented himself, and Rhampsinitus demonstrated his admiration for the most intelligent of all mankind by giving him his daughter in marriage. The Egyptians, he said, were the cleverest nation in the world, but this fellow beat the lot.

She persuaded the Syracusans to help her by telling the story of Alcestis. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 olim puella, nomine Flora, ad urbem Athenas cum amicis navigabat. Flora enim erat civis insulae Rhodi, cuius incolae auxilium eo tempore ad Athenienses mittere volebant. ubi tamen magna tempestas eos e cursu pepulit, piratae navem secuti sunt. Flora igitur in portum Syracusas fugere coacta est. sed Syracusani, qui hostes Atheniensibus erant, eos portum intrare prohibuerunt. Flora tamen, quae vocem pulcherrimam habebat, fabulam de Alceste narrare volebat. in hac fabula Hercules cum Plutone pugnat et Alcestem a morte servatam coniugi reddit. itaque Syracusani, hac fabula audita, puellam et amicos sine mora acceperunt.

Nessus eis auxilium obtulit. itaque Hercules uxorem suam in tergum Nessi imposuit. tum ipse flumen tranavit. sed Nessus, paulum in aquam progressus, ad ripam subito revertit, et Deianiram auferre conatus est. quod cum animadvertisset Hercules, ira incensus, arcum intendit et pectus Nessi sagitta transfixit. itaque Nessus moriens humi iacebat. ita locutus est: ‘Deianira, audi verba mea! si amorem mariti conservare vis, aliquid sanguinis huius, qui e pectore meo effunditur, sume!’ Deianira, nihil mali suspicata, ei paruit. mox Hercules bellum contra Eurytum, regem Oechaliae, gessit, et, cum regem ipsum cum filiis interfecisset, Iolen, filiam Euryti, captivam domum reducebat. antequam tamen domum venit, ad Cenaeum promunturiam navigavit et, in terram egressus, ad aram, ut Iovi sacrificium faceret, ivit. dum tamen sacrificium parat, Licham, amicum suum, ut vestem albam referret, domum misit. mos enim erat apud Graecos ut, dum sacrificia faciunt, vestem albam gererent. at Deianira, timens ne Hercules amorem erga Iolen haberet, vestem, priusquam Lichae eam dedit, sanguine Nessi infecit.
