 The fable was revived in Renaissance times by Andrea Alciato in his "Emblemata" under the heading "Non tibi sed religioni" (not for your sake but religion's), and is placed in the context of the Egyptian cult of Isis.No less than three English versions of Alciato's accompanying Latin poem were written in the next few decades.The most significant is that of Geoffrey Whitney in his "Choice of Emblemes", which is more a paraphrase dwelling foremost on the meaning of the fable.
