Ernest Rhys: 'Sinbad the Sailor, are of Hindu origin'
"We have to admit that the beast-fable did not begin with him (Aesop), or in Greece at all.
We have, in fact, to go East and to look to India and burrow in the
'tale of tales' of Hitopadesa to get an idea how old the antiquity of the fable actually is.
When one remembers also that many of the stories in the Arabian Nights,
including that of the famous Sinbad the Sailor, are of Hindu origin,
it is not easy to accept the view that such tales are not of native Indian growth." |
- Ernest Percival Rhys (1859 – 1946) Welsh-English writer & literary editor. He founded and edited the Everyman's Library for J. M. Dent & Sons.
He was also a poet and one of the founding members of the 'Rhymers' Club' in London in 1890. In 1912 or 1913,
he went to see a play written by Rabindranath Tagore at the Little Theatre at the Albert Hall |
