A note from BCD: From the late Silvia Hurter’s library with the author’s dedication. This writer has developed an emotional link to Seleucid elephants ever since reading in Professor Scullard’s enthralling book “The Elephant in the Greek and Roman World” about the reaction of the unnamed Greek who, unable to bear the sight, attacked and killed Gnaeus Octavius in 163 BC as his soldiers were hamstringing the elephants of Antiochus III.
