The current story in antiquity was that Aeschylus had been killed near Gela in Sicily by a tortoise dropt on his head by an eagle, which mistook the bald shiny pate of the venerable poet for a stone, and hoped to smash the tortoise on it. See Biographi Graeci, ed. Westermann, p. 120 ; Aelian Nat. Anim. vii. 16 ; Suidas, s.v. Αίσχύλοσ ; Valerius Maximus, ix. 12. Ext. 2. This important topic has produced the usual crop of learned dissertations. The late Professor F. G. Welcker gravely discussed it by the help of ornithological information derived from Aesop's fables, notes of travel made by the professor himself on the supposed scene of the catastrophe, and statistics as to the number of bald-headed men in antiquity. The interesting inquiry has since been prosecuted by other scholars with equal judgment and learning. The reader who desires to peruse these ponderous lucubrations should consult Rheinisches Museum, N.F. 7 (1850), pp. 139-144, 285 sq ; id., 9 (1854), pp. 148-155, 160* ; id., 37 (1882), pp. 308-312 ; Fleckeisen's Jahrbücher, 26 (1880), pp. 22-24 ; Welcker, Antike Denkmäler, 2. pp. 337-346. [J.G. Frazer, notes to Pausanias's "Description of Greece," 1898]
古代流傳的故事是,埃斯基勒斯在西西里島的吉拉附近被一隻鷹掉落在他頭上的烏龜殺死,因為這隻鷹將這位尊貴詩人的禿頭光亮的頭頂誤認為石頭,希望能將烏龜壓碎。參見 Biographi Graeci,編輯 Westermann,第120頁;阿利安 Nat. Anim. vii. 16;斯伊達斯,s.v. Αίσχύλοσ;瓦萊里烏斯·馬克西穆斯,ix. 12. Ext. 2。這一重要主題產生了通常的學術論文。已故的F.G. Welcker教授嚴肅地通過從伊索寓言中獲得的鳥類學信息、教授本人在假定災難現場的旅行筆記,以及有關古代禿頭男人數量的統計數據來討論這個問題。這一有趣的研究此後也被其他學者以同樣的判斷和學識繼續進行。希望閱讀這些沉重的學術著作的讀者應參考 Rheinisches Museum,N.F. 7(1850),第139-144頁,285 sq;id.,9(1854),第148-155頁,160*;id.,37(1882),第308-312頁;Fleckeisen's Jahrbücher,26(1880),第22-24頁;Welcker,Antike Denkmäler,2.第337-346頁。[J.G. Frazer,對保薩尼亞斯《希臘描述》的註釋,1898年]
[湯普森(「希臘鳥類詞彙」,1895年)寫道,罪魁禍首「顯然是一隻Lämmergeier」,並且為其喜歡捕食烏龜引用了特里斯特拉姆的《巴勒斯坦的動植物》,1884年。]
