They say that a lion fell in love with a maiden and spoke to her father about marrying her. The father said he was willing to give her to him, but feared his claws and teeth, lest, once married, he should grow angry for some reason and treat the maiden savagely. So the lion pulled out his claws and teeth. When the father saw that he had cast aside everything that made him fearsome, he beat him with a club and easily killed him.
Ἐρασθέντα φασὶ λέοντα παρθένου διαλεχθῆναι τῷ πατρὶ τῆς κόρης ὑπὲρ τοῦ γάμου· τὸν δὲ πατέρα λέγειν, ὡς ἕτοιμος μέν ἐστιν αὐτῷ δοῦναι, δεδοικέναι δὲ τοὺς ὄνυχας καὶ τοὺς ὀδόντας, μή ποτε γήμας καὶ παροξυνθεὶς διά τινα αἰτίαν προσενέγκηται τῇ παρθένῳ θηριωδῶς. Τοῦ δὲ λέοντος ἐξελόντος τούς τε ὄνυχας καὶ τοὺς ὀδόντας, τὸν πατέρα θεωρήσαντα πάντα διʼ ὧν ἦν φοβερὸς ἀποβεβληκότα, τύπτοντα τῷ ξύλῳ ῥᾳδίως ἀποκτεῖναι.
