The Story of Ahikar from the Syriac, Arabic, Armenian, Ethiopic, Greek, and Slavonic Versions is a book written by Frederick Cornwallis Conybeare and published in 1898. This book is a compilation of different versions of the ancient story of Ahikar, a wise man and courtier in the court of the Assyrian king Sennacherib. The book includes translations of the story from six different languages: Syriac, Arabic, Armenian, Ethiopic, Greek, and Slavonic. Each translation provides a unique perspective and interpretation of the story, allowing readers to compare and contrast the different versions. The story of Ahikar is a tale of wisdom, loyalty, and betrayal. It follows the life of Ahikar, who rises to power in the Assyrian court due to his intelligence and cunning. However, he is eventually betrayed by his own nephew and exiled from the court. Despite this setback, Ahikar continues to use his wisdom to help others and eventually returns to the court to seek revenge on his nephew. Overall, The Story of Ahikar from the Syriac, Arabic, Armenian, Ethiopic, Greek, and Slavonic Versions is a fascinating exploration of an ancient story from multiple perspectives.
