- The_Beaver_(fable) abstract "In ancient times the beaver was hunted for its testicles, which it was thought had medicinal qualities. The story that the animal would gnaw these off to save itself when hunted was preserved by some ancient Greek naturalists and perpetuated into the Middle Ages. It also appeared as a Greek fable ascribed to Aesop and is numbered 118 in the Perry Index.In Latin literary sources the fable was versified by Phaedrus and is alluded to by Juvenal in a satire. There the merchant Catullus jettisons his rich cargo from a ship caught in a storm ‘in imitation of the beaver that in its desire to escape death, will bite off its testicles and render itself a eunuch’. The moral that Juvenal and later fabulists drew from the story is that in order to preserve oneself it is better to sacrifice lesser considerations.".
