Summary: "The History of the Seven Wise Masters of Rome" by Gomme and Wheatley is a historical text written in the late 19th century. This work serves as an important collection of European folk stories, exploring the literary origins and interconnectedness of narratives that transcend cultural boundaries. The central narrative revolves around a young prince, Dioclesian, who is falsely accused by his stepmother and defended by seven wise men through a series of intertwined tales that illustrate the deceptions and follies of women. The opening of this work introduces the context and significance of the seven wise masters in Roman society, detailing the background of Emperor Poncianus and his son, Dioclesian. After the death of the prince's mother, Poncianus resolves to find a suitable education for his son, seeking the guidance of seven renowned masters. As the narrative unfolds, it becomes clear that the young prince's unique circumstances lead him to face grave threats from his stepmother, who conspires against him. The first examples outlined involve the wise masters teaching and testing both the prince and his accusers as they navigate a world filled with cunning and moral dilemmas.
