Mary70 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 We are reading the Taming of the Shrew in our homeschool, the frame story at the beginning rings a bell. A sleeping beggar is taken to a lord's house as a prank/experiment, told he is lord when he awakes and waited upon by servants, then when he falls asleep again, he is returned to his original place, and he wakes thinking it was a dream that he had become a lord. Where have I heard this story before? We've read a lot of classics and philosophy, and I seem to recall it's an allegory from an ancient philosopher. Can anyone help?
