BIBLIOTHECA BESTIARIUM #3 - DE PANTHERA

The idea of the BIBLIOTHECA BESTIARIUM is based on the medieval animal poems of the Physilogus, in which animals were given human characteristics. These tales were mostly inspired by the Christian doctrine of salvation and have survived to this day in figures of the unicorn or the griffin.

I asked the machine about the Bestiary, and this is what it gave me......

3. DE - PANTHERA The panther sleeps for three days when it has had its fill. Then he wakes up and raises his voice, and at the same time an extremely delicious fragrance escapes from his mouth. And all the animals from near and far follow his voice and the fragrance and gather around him. Only the dragon, who is his enemy, is afraid and hides himself. So Christ rose from death on the third day and gathered around him those who were near and those who were far away, that is, Jews and Gentiles. But the dragon is the devil, whom he overcame.
