attr. Æsop, Three Hundred Aesop's Fables — The Herdsman and the lost Bull (1887)
“ A Herdsman tending kine in a forest, lost a Bull calf from the fold. After a long and fruitless search, he made a vow that, if he could only discover the thief who had stolen the Calf, he would offer a lamb in sacrifice to Hermes, Pan, and the Guardian Deities of the forest. Not long afterwards, as he ascended a small hillock, he saw at its foot a Lion feeding on the Calf. ”
