This was the remora, which travels attached to the bellies of sharks; as the ancients tell it, when these little fish cling to the undersides of a ship, they can bring it to a halt, and by so impeding Mark Antony's vessel during the Battle of Actium, one of them facilitated the victory of Augustus Caesar.
Era la rémora, que viaja adherida al vientre de los tiburones. Al decir de los antiguos, este pequeño pez, adosado por su ventosa a la quilla de un navío, podía detener su marcha, y uno de ellos, al retener así la nave de Antonio durante la batalla de Actium, facilitó la victoria de Augusto.
