If a th o u sa n d people w ere asked to

w hen one Greek m eets a n o th e r th ere

fight to th e death»”
T h a t Is u n doubtedly th e p opular
view of th e m eaning of th e saying.
Yet th e re a re few m isq u o tatio n s fa r
th e r from th e o riginal th an this, for
In N athnnlel Lee’s fo rg o tten trngedy,

T h e wild dog. for Instance, usually

And his tow uhrod cousin does the
very sam e today. T he wild dog had
his bushy ta ll for a final w rap . Ills
nose and his four paw s, his only thinly-
