The Seventh scroll tells the story of a teacher disillusioned with his life in Greece. |
|
In ancient Greece, the word for a teacher was, Didaskalos. The Seventh Scroll is the story of a teacher called Demetrios. The story follows Demetrios from the moment he leaves his birthplace in Greece, his untimely arrival in Rome, and his first teaching appointment. After a few years, he had become disillutioned with teaching the children of the rich families in Rome. He then joined the Roman navy, and was a ships carpenter on a warship called, Fidelis with his good friend Marcus. Call it luck or fate; when his ship was captured, he was taken to Carthage as a prisoner of war. There he taught his Greek tongue to a young boy. That young boy was Hannibal Barca. As Hannibal grew into manhood, Demetrios was never far away from his side. In Spain, Demetrios had seen Hannibal become a General. He had witnessed Hannibal’s victories at Cannae, and at lake Trasimene after they had crossed with Alps and invaded Italy. He had shed many tears when Hannibal was finally defeated by the Roman Army at Zama. And at the end of his life, from a Roman cross, he loved Hannibal like the son he never had. |
