WORKS OF FICTION. 129 pen and brush of the satirist. The tale and romance, gener- ally the vehicle for some religious doctrine, constituted a fa- vorite branch of literature in the Ramessid age. The poet Enna has left us a novel, written more than 3, 000 years ago for the amusement of the crown-prince, who after- ward perished with his host in the Red Sea. It is entitled " the Tale of the Two Brothers, " and is perhaps " the oldest fairy story in the world. " It sets forth the rustic life of tw...o devoted brothers ; the false accusation of one by the wife of the other; the flight of the accused, after a warning given him by his faithful cattle ; his pursuit by the elder brother, who is resolved to avenge the alleged outrage ; the interference, in behalf of the innocent, of a god who creates between pursuer and pursued a stream full of crocodiles ; and many strange adventures on the part of the fugitive, followed by the reunion of the brothers, the elevation of the younger to the throne of Egypt, and of the elder to the proud position of hereditary prince.
