Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Androcles and the Lion, a 1912 play by George Bernard Shaw, is a re-telling of one of Aesop's Fables. In the fable and the play, Androcles, a Christian slave in Roman times, is surprised by a lion in the forest. Seeing that the lion has a thorn in its paw, Androcles pulls the thorn out. Shortly thereafter, Androcles is arrested and thrown to the lions in the Coliseum...only to face the lion that he helped. The lion refuses to harm Androcles--and although, in Shaw's play, the Romans are still willing to hurt what they call "a Christian sorcerer", they're not nearly so eager to fight their way past an angry lion to do so. |
