The bull of Phalaris (442 words)
This Phalaris burned to death Perilaus, the well-known Attic worker in bronze, in the brazen bull.
Perilaus had fashioned in bronze the contrivance of the bull, making small sounding pipes in the nostrils and fitting a door for an opening in the bull's side and this bull he brings as a present to Phalaris.
And as soon as Perilaus had crept in, to give an example, so he thought, of the sound of the pipes, Phalaris closes up the bull and heaps fire under it.
