Seven Wise Masters, The

Series of stories, said to be of Eastern origin. A Roman prince remains silent by decree of the stars when every day for a week his stepmother tells the emperor a story to poison his mind against the prince. Seven sages provide the antidote by each telling the emperor a story. Finally the prince is free to talk and clears himself.

Similar cycles of tales include the Hebrew Mishle Sendabar/Parables of Sandabar ascribed to an Arabic writer Sandabar of the 1st or 2nd century BC, the Greek Syntipas/The Philosopher, the Arabic Romance of the Seven Viziers, the Persian Sindibad Nama, and the west European Romance of the Seven Sages.
