The Lion, Jupiter, and the Elephant

edit

The Lion, Jupiter and the Elephant also known as The Lion, Prometheus and the Elephant[1] or The Lion and the Elephant is a fable by Aesop.[2][3][4] It is numbered 259 in the Perry Index.

Plot

edit

The Lion is afraid of the rooster crowing. He asks the god Jupiter why he created him this way. Jupiter says that he has given the Lion all his courage and that he should be thankful that it's not a big problem. The Lion is disappointed by Jupiter's answer and laments his cowardly nature. He meets an elephant who he starts talking to. When the Lion notices that the Elephant flaps his ear a lot, he askes why he does that. The Elephant responds that he is afraid that a gnat will get inside his ears and that he will die unless he keeps flapping his ears. The Lion realizes that if a giant animal like the elephant is afraid of such a tiny insect then it's not a big concern to be afraid of a rooster.

Interpretation

edit

The fables talks about irrational fears.[5] The lion thinks that he is pathetic for being afraid of the roosters crowing and only changes his opinion when he learns of the elephant's own fear. Lion thinks

A lion being afraid of an rooster is a common trope in Greek and roman legends.[6]
