From The Seven Sages of Rome
The Seven Sages of Rome: Database
The Seven Sages of Rome is the most famous premodern text of which nobody has ever heard. This project aims to change that. The story cycle, told in at least 30 languages from Central Asia to Iceland over more than five centuries, centres on a non-consensual sexual encounter between a mute prince and his stepmother.
