The Eagle and the Beetle information


The emblem of the eagle and the beetle, from Andrea Alciato's Emblematum Liber (1534)

The story of the feud between the eagle and the beetle is one of Aesop's Fables and often referred to in Classical times.[1] It is numbered 3 in the Perry Index[2] and the episode became proverbial. Although different in detail, it can be compared to the fable of The Eagle and the Fox. In both cases the eagle believes itself safe from retribution for an act of violence and is punished by the destruction of its young.
