Understand
A prologue in two parts: first a note about how this Greek text of Esther reached Egypt, then Mordecai's dream — tumults and thunders, two great dragons ready to fight, the nations stirred against 'the nation of the just,' and then a little fountain growing into a river, the sun rising, and the humble devouring the glorious. Mordecai wakes and keeps the dream in mind, 'desirous to know what the dream should signify.'
