WICKEDESS OF MEN: THE BULL OF FALARIS



Thanks to Lucian, the 2nd century AD satirist, we know quite a bit about the torture machine known as "the brass bull of Perilaus" or "the bull of Phalaris".
The sculptor Perilaos between 570-560 BC.
he made to the order of the tyrant Phalaris, a brass bull that could fit an entire man inside. When they lit a fire under the bull, the one inside was roasted alive and his voice were heard, through a special mechanism, like the bellowing of the bull.

The famine resulted in the deaths of millions of people, making it one of the deadliest famines in history. The root cause of the famine was a combination of factors, including a shortage of food, poor weather conditions, and wartime disruptions to trade and transportation. However, a significant contributing factor was the diversion of food resources by the British government to support its war effort. During the war, the British government was heavily involved in the war against Nazi Germany and needed to secure food supplies for its troops and allies.
