"Once some pirates beached their ship in Etruria and went inland to rustle some pigs. They stole a herd of sows and drove them aboard their ship. The swineherds saw all this but kept quiet. When the ship was well at sea, the swineherds called out loudly. The sows all moved to one side of the ship, capsizing it. The pirates drowned, but the sows made it safely to shore." - Aelian. (Aelian’s on the Nature of Animals. Trans. Gregory McNamee.)
