"Andreas: The Legend of St. Andrew" by Robert K. Root is a historical epic poem written in the late 19th century. This work is a translation from Old English, recounting the legendary story of St. Andrew, one of Jesus' apostles. The poem explores themes of faith, courage, and the struggle against evil as it narrates Andrew's mission to rescue fellow apostles and convert the cannibalistic Mermedonians, showcasing his divine strength and loyalty
to God. The opening of the poem introduces the dire situation of Matthew, who is imprisoned by the cannibalistic Mermedonians, awaiting a gruesome fate. As he prays for help, God sends Andrew, who embarks on a perilous journey across the sea accompanied by his disciples. Andrew reassures his companions about God's protection and recalls the miracles of Christ, thus fortifying their spirits as they face treacherous waters. This initial setup sets the stage for Andrew's divine encounters and the ensuing conflict with the Mermedonian people, establishing a narrative rich in adventure, moral lessons, and historical themes.
