Publisher's Synopsis
De Fabula Meleagrea est liber scriptus a Renardo Kekule anno MDCCCLXI. In hoc libro, Kekule narrat fabulam Meleagreae, quae de Meleagro, filio Oenei, agit. Meleagrus erat heros Graecus, qui cum esset infans, tres fatae puellae ei donaverunt lignea fercula, quae igni committere debebat, ut vitam suam conservaret. Meleagrus autem, crescente aetate, factus est vir fortis et bellator, et cum suos amicos in bellum adduceret, occidit aprum ferocem, qui vastitatem in agris creaverat. Hoc autem facinus exarsit iram Dianae, quae fratrem Meleagri, nomine Artemidem, ad aprum misit, ut eum interficeret. Meleagrus autem defendit se et amicos suos, et Artemidem occidit. Hoc factum commovit matrem Meleagri, Altheam, quae lignea fercula igni commisit, et vita filii sui consumpta est. Fabula Meleagrea est exemplum de ira et consequenti exitu infelici.This Book Is In Latin.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
