Aristeas

Aristeas was one of Dream’s raven during prior to Matthew.

Before Aristeas was a raven he was a poet and lived 700 years before the Roman Empire.

Aristeas accompanied Dream when he visited Octavious in his dreams. It was in this dream that Octavious was told to dress like a beggar and go into the market place and make his plans away from the watchful eyes of the Gods.

Aristeas appears in Sandman # 30, which was entitled “August,” on page 18-20. This issue was later collected in Fables And Reflections.
