Young slave Milon starts his journey at home in Athens. When he sets sail on a ship bound for Italy his adventures really begin.

When he meets a small community of Christians in Rome, he finally gains his freedom and finds a purpose in life. At the centre of the story is Milon's relationship with a wounded lion who he bravely helps. Will the lion remember him and return the favour when Milon faces death at the hands of the mighty Roman emperors?This classic story presents the world of the early Christians in an engaging way for children. It is ideal for use in Steiner-Waldorf Class 6 (age 11-12).
