Biography[]
Shabaka was taken to the Bull Court as a slave to learn the skill of bull-leaping. Here, he met new friends including Cyrus, Elpis and later Jason, Hercules and Pythagoras. He and the others worked together in the Atlantis amphitheatre in order to be judged by the god, Poseidon. He was successful in the event and after saying his goodbyes to his new friend he returned to his village. (A Boy of No Consequence)
