Dead or Alive

Papyrus Riddle: Dead or Alive

Find this riddle in the Apollonion of Cyrene, in Kyrenaika.

"In the southwest section of the Green Mountains lives a monstrous beast with sharp tusks and tough gray skin. In his deadly arena you can find me, between the edge of the arena and where the beast sates his thirst."

The solution lies in the Roman Camp of Surus, an elephant compound in the Green Mountains.

If you've already defeated Surus, the gate won't open for you, but you can come in over the rocks.

The riddle is in the narrow strip of land between the wall and the nearest watering hole.
