The Death Of Antiochus Revenged


When Antiochus was slain in battle by Centaretrius the Galatian, the

victor exultingly leaped on the back of the fallen king's horse; but he

had no sooner done so, than the animal, as if sensible that it was

bestrode by the slayer of his master, instantly exhibited signs of the

greatest fury, and bounding forwards to the top of a lofty rock, with a

speed which defied every attempt of Centaretrius to disengage himself,

leaped with him over the precipice, at the foot of which both were found

dashed to pieces.
