Δειπνοσοφισταί Athenaeus of Naucratis

Book 3

41 But while on land I more approve the conduct
41 Of the great lion, than the dirty tricks
41 Of the sea-urchin; he, when he perceives
41 The impending onset of superior foes,
41 Rolls himself up, wrapped in his cloak of thorns,
41 Impregnable in bristly panoply.
