Comments / pictures

The most notable elephant in Greek history, called Victor, had long served in Pyrrhus's army, but on seeing its Mahout dead before the city walls, it rushed to retrieve him: hoisting him defiantly on his tusks, it took wild and indiscriminate revenge for the man it loved, trampling more of its supporters than its enemies.
