Of these, the ones which are short in stature, with curly manes, are peaceable; the tall ones, with straight hair, are fierce. Their brow and tail show their mettle; their courage is in their breast, their resolution in their head. They fear the rumbling sound of wheels, but are even more frightened by fire. The lion takes pride in the strength of its nature; it does not know how to join in the ferocity of other kinds of wild beasts, but like a king disdains the company of large numbers. Those who study nature say that the lion has three main characteristics. The first is that it loves to roam amid mountain peaks. If it happens that the lion is pursued by hunters, it picks up their scent and obliterates the traces behind it with its tail. [...] The second characteristic of the lion is that when it sleeps, it seems to have its eyes open. [...] The third characteristic of the lion is that when a lioness gives birth to her cubs, she produces them dead and watches over them for three days, until their father comes on the third day and breathes into their faces and restores them to life. [...] Where men are concerned, it is the nature of lions not to grow angry unless they are harmed. An example which thoughtful men should heed; for men grow angry even when they have not been harmed, and they oppress the innocent, although Christian law bids them set even the guilty free. The compassion of lions is apparent from endless examples. They spare those whom they have brought down. They allow captives whom they encounter to return home. They vent their rage on men rather than women. They do not kill children except in time of great hunger. Equally, lions refrain from over-feeding. First, because they drink and feed on alternate days; and often, if their food remains undigested, they postpone the next feed. Then, because they feel uncomfortable when they have devoured more meat than they should, they insert their paws in their mouth and pull the food out, of their own accord. And when they have to take flight, they do exactly the same thing if they are full. Missing teeth show that a lion is old. Lions mate face to face; and not only lions, but lynxes, and camels, and elephants, and rhinoceroses, and tigers."^^xsd:string ; beast:hasSequenceIdentifier "Folio 7v-8r"^^xsd:string ; beast:isTextualReferenceOf beastiary:int_lion_aberdeen . beastiary:citation_aberdeen_3 a beast:Citation ; beast:extractedFrom beastiary:source_aberdeen_bestiary ; beast:hasPassageText "The eagle is so called because of the sharpness of its eyes, for it is said to be of such keen vision that it glides above the sea on unmoving wings, out of human sight, yet from such a height sees small fish swimmming below and, swooping down like a missile thrown from a siege engine, it seizes its prey on the wing and carries it to land. When the eagle grows old, however, its wings grow heavy, and its eyes grow dim. Then it seeks out a spring and, turning away from it, flies up into the atmosphere of the sun; there it sets its wings alight and, likewise, burns off the dimness in its eyes in the sun's rays. Descending at length, it immerses itself in the spring three times; immediately it is restored to the full strength of its wings, the former brightness of its eyes."^^xsd:string ; beast:hasSequenceIdentifier "Folio 61r"^^xsd:string ; beast:isTextualReferenceOf beastiary:int_eagle_aberdeen . beastiary:citation_aberdeen_4 a beast:Citation ; beast:extractedFrom beastiary:source_aberdeen_bestiary ; beast:hasPassageText "The snake has three characteristics. The first of these is that when it grows old, its eyes grow dim; if it wants to regain its youth, it fasts for many days until its skin grows loose; then it seeks out a narrow crack in a rock, enters it, and scrapes through, sloughing off its old skin. [...] The snake's second characteristic is this: when it comes to a river to drink water, it does not bring its venom with it, but discharges it into a pit. [...] All snakes suffer from poor sight; they can rarely see what is in front of them. This is not without reason, since their eyes are not at the front but in the temples of the head, so that they hear better than they see. No creature moves its tongue as swiftly as the snake, to such an extent that it seems to have a triple tongue, when in fact there is only one. The bodies of snakes are moist, so that wherever they go, they mark their path with moisture. The tracks of snakes are such that, since they seem to lack feet, they crawl using their flanks and the pressure of their scales, which are laid out in the same pattern from the throat to the lowest part of the belly. For they support themselves on their scales as if on claws, and on their flanks as if on legs. As a result, if a snake is struck on any part of the body, from the belly to the head, it is disabled and cannot get away quickly, because where the blow falls, it dislocates the spine, through which the foot-like movement of the flanks and the motion of the body are activated. Snakes are said to live for a long time, to such an extent that it also claimed that when they shed their old skins, they shed their old age and regain their youth.

Ma altri, dall'aspetto di questo mostro, trassero il vaticinio che in quell'epoca non sarebbero mancati gli svariati e deleteri vizi degli uomini: associarono infatti il corno del mostro alla superbia, le ali alla frivolezza e incostanza dello spirito, la mancanza di braccia alla mancanza di opere giuste, la zampa di uccello rapace alla rapina, all'usura e all'avarizia, il ginocchio munito di occhio alla propensione degli uominbi verso le sole cose mondane, e la compresenza di entrambi i sessi a ogni specie di oscena lussuria."^^xsd:string ; beast:hasSequenceIdentifier "Capitolo 3: Il mostro in generale"^^xsd:string ; beast:isTextualReferenceOf beastiary:int_mostro_aldrovandi_1 . beastiary:citation_aldrovandi_6 a beast:Citation ; beast:extractedFrom beastiary:source_monstrorum_historia_aldrovandi ; beast:hasPassageText "Per rafforzare ancor di più la tesi di coloro che pongono più mostri in acqua che sulla terra, aggiungiamo l'immagine di un mostro marino, riportato dal Paré, con testa, criniera e petto di cavallo il resto del corpo di pesce.

Sia perciò resa giustizia a coloro che, negli antichi racconti, parlarono con grande libertà di cavalli marini, dipingendoli con forme in parte equine [...]. Al riguardo, molti hanno affermato che fu l'ambizione dei Romani a dare spunto alla figura di questo cavallo: dal momento che essi dimostrarono a tutti la loro preminenza sulla terra e sul mare, pensarono di dipingere uniti insieme due animali, uno per ciascun elemento, cioè il cavallo e il delfino. In seguito molti, sbalorditi da tale figura, e convinti che un simile mostro esistesse sotto forma di un'unica creatura, lo chiamarono cavallo marino.

Quando viene catturato si lamenta e tira fuori dal petto profondi sospiri, come un uomo ansioso e sofferente.

After looking at it for some time, Atreyu seemed to see abysmal wickedness and cruelty, but a moment later he had to correct his impression, for he found only unruffled calm.

They bear no resemblance to ordinary dragons, which look like loathsome snakes and live in deep caves, diffusing a noxious stench and guarding some real or imaginary treasure. [...] Luckdragons are creatures of air, warmth, and pure joy. Despite their great size, they are as light as a summer cloud, and consequently need no wings for flying. They swim in the air of heaven as fish swim in water. Seen from the earth, they look like slow lightning flashes. The most amazing thing about them is their song. Their voice sounds like the golden note of a large bell, and when they speak softly the bell seems to be ringing in the distance. Anyone who has heard this sound will remember it as long as he lives and tell his grandchildren about it. But the luckdragon Atreyu saw could hardly have been in a mood for singing. His long, graceful body with its pearly, pink-and-white scales hung tangled and twisted in the great spider web. His bristling fangs, his thick, luxuriant mane, and the fringes on his tail and limbs were all caught in the sticky ropes. He could hardly move. The eyeballs in his lionlike head glistened ruby-red. The splendid beast bled from many wounds, for there was something else, something very big, that descended like a dark cloud on the dragon's white body. It rose and fell, rose and fell, all the while changing its shape. Sometimes it resembled a gigantic long-legged spider with many fiery eyes and a fat body encased in shaggy black hair; then it became a great hand with long claws that tried to crush the luckdragon, and in the next moment it changed to a giant scorpion, piercing its unfortunate victim with its venomous sting."^^xsd:string ; beast:hasSequenceIdentifier "Chapter 4"^^xsd:string ; beast:isTextualReferenceOf beastiary:int_dragon_ende . beastiary:citation_erodoto_1 a beast:Citation ; beast:extractedFrom beastiary:source_erodoto_histories ; beast:hasPassageText "There is also another sacred bird called the phoenix which I did not myself see except in painting, for in truth he comes to them very rarely, at intervals, as the people of Heliopolis say, of five hundred years; and these say that he comes regularly when his father dies; and if he be like the painting, he is of this size and nature, that is to say, some of his feathers are of gold colour and others red, and in outline and size he is as nearly as possible like an eagle.

Soon as saffron Aurora reddens at her rising, soon as she routs the stars with rosy light, thrice and again that bird plunges her body into the kindly waves, thrice and again sips water from the living flood.

Despite her length of years she directs her swift flight into Syria, to which she herself of old gave the name of Phoenice, and seeks through desert wilds the care-free groves, here where the sequestered woodland lurks among the glades.

Se è volontà degli dei vendicarlo con ira così spietata, possa io strisciare lungo il ventre come un serpente'.

Caduto prono sul petto, le gambe si fondono insieme e a poco a poco si assottigliano in una punta affilata. Non gli restano che le braccia, e le braccia, finché gli restano, tende, con le lacrime che gli scorrono sul viso ancora umano: 'Accòstati, moglie mia,' dice, 'accòstati, moglie mia infelice, e finché qualcosa di me sopravvive, toccami, prendimi la mano, finché è tale, finché il serpente tutto non mi pervade!'. Vorrebbe, sì, dire di più, ma la lingua si scinde a un tratto in due, le parole che ha in animo di dire si spengono e ogni volta che cerca di emettere un lamento, sibila: questa è l'unica voce che natura gli lascia. Colpendosi con le mani il petto ignudo, la moglie grida: 'Cadmo, no, no! spògliati, sventurato, di questa forma mostruosa! Cadmo, che accade? dove sono i piedi? e le spalle, le mani, il tuo colore e, mentre parlo, il viso e ciò che resta? Perché mai, dei del cielo, non mutate anche me in un serpente uguale?'. Così protesta, e lui lambisce il volto della moglie, s'insinua in quel suo seno adorato, come se lo riconoscesse, e avvolgendola in un abbraccio, cerca il collo che gli è familiare. Tutti i presenti, i loro compagni, guardano atterriti; ma lei accarezza il collo viscido di quel serpente crestato e di colpo sono in due a strisciare intrecciando le spire, finché non si nascondono nel folto di un bosco vicino.

Their bite kills a tree; they make an olive tree barren even by licking it, and for this reason they are not offered in sacrifice to Minerva.

Qui stava rintanato un serpente generato da Marte e screziato di squame d'oro: saettano fuoco gli occhi, gonfio tutto di veleno è il suo corpo, e in mezzo a tre file di denti guizzano tre lingue. In questo bosco per sventura s'inoltrò la gente venuta da Tiro. L'anfora calata nell'acqua fece un tonfo, ed ecco che livido il serpente dal fondo dell'antro trae fuori il capo vomitando sibili orrendi. Sfuggono le anfore dalle mani, esangue si fa il corpo e un tremito improvviso pervade le membra irrigidite. Con rapide volute il mostro avvolge in spire le sue squame e con un guizzo si tende in archi immensi; ergendosi con oltre metà del suo corpo nel vuoto dell'aria, domina tutto il bosco: tanto è grande, se tu lo vedessi intero, quanto il Serpente che separa le due Orse. Poi di colpo s'avventa sui Fenici, o che s'apprestino a combattere, a fuggire o che il terrore impedisca loro entrambe le azioni: e questi li uccide coi morsi, quelli tendendo le spire, altri infine infettandoli col miasma mortale del suo veleno. Già il sole altissimo aveva ridotto le ombre a un filo: stupito del ritardo dei compagni, il figlio di Agenore allora si mise a cercarli. Addosso portava la pelle strappata a un leone, per armi un'asta smagliante di ferro, un dardo e, più efficace di qualsiasi arma, il suo coraggio. Come penetrò nel bosco e vide i cadaveri e su questi lo smisurato avversario che vittorioso leccava le macabre ferite con la lingua lorda di sangue: 'O vendicherò la vostra morte, fedelissimi miei,' esclamò, 'o vi sarò compagno'. Disse, e con la destra sollevò un macigno e grande quant'era con gran furia lo scagliò. Quell'urto avrebbe raso al suolo anche le mura più massicce con le sue torri svettanti: incolume rimase il serpente; le squame compatte della sua pelle nera, che lo proteggevano come una corazza, respinsero quel colpo spaventoso. Ma la sua corazza non valse contro il dardo, che si conficcò in mezzo alla spina dorsale, dove questa flettendosi s'inarca, e penetrò con tutto il ferro nelle viscere. Pazzo di dolore il serpente torse il capo verso il dorso e scorta la ferita, addentò l'asta che vi era confitta e, dopo averla scossa con violenza da ogni parte, alla fine la divelse, ma il ferro gli rimase nelle ossa. Allora che al suo furore abituale si aggiunse nuovo sprone, un flusso di sangue gli gonfiò la gola, una bava biancastra gli spumeggiò intorno alle fauci letali; graffiata dalle sue squame la terra stridette e l'alito nero che gli usciva dalla bocca infernale ammorbò di fetore l'aria. Ora si raggomitola in spire che descrivono archi immensi, mentre a volte s'inerpica più dritto di un alto fusto, ora con impeto immane, come un fiume ingrossato dalle piogge, si lancia e col petto abbatte ogni ostacolo che nella selva incontra. Il figlio di Agenore arretra un po' e nelle spoglie del leone sostiene l'assalto, con la lancia protesa tiene a bada la bocca che lo incalza. Quello infuria, a vuoto avventa morsi contro il duro ferro e ficca i suoi denti nella punta. Dal suo palato gonfio di veleno ormai il sangue cominciava a stillare, schizzando di macchie il verde dell'erba. Ma era ferita leggera, perché il mostro sfuggiva ai colpi piegando indietro il collo offeso e arretrando impediva all'arma di piantarsi e di penetrare più a fondo; finché il figlio di Agenore, puntandogli l'asta contro la gola, non lo incalzò da presso e, quando alle sue spalle nel ritrarsi si parò una quercia, insieme trafisse collo e tronco."^^xsd:string, "S'era portata anche dietro un succo mirabile e tossico: Ia bava delle fauci di Cerbero, il veleno di Echidna"^^xsd:string ; beast:hasSequenceIdentifier "Book II, verses 28-92"^^xsd:string, "Book IV, verses 500-501"^^xsd:string ; beast:isTextualReferenceOf beastiary:int_cerberus_ovid, beastiary:int_snake_ovid_2 . beastiary:citation_rowling_9 a beast:Citation ; beast:extractedFrom beastiary:source_fantastic_beasts, beastiary:source_harry_potter_book_2 ; beast:hasPassageText "Of the many fearsome beasts and monsters that roam our land, there is none more curious or more deadly than the Basilisk, known also as the King of Serpents.
