scaevola

Truly a hero of old. He was captured by the enemy and had the courage to burn his own right hand without flinching. According to myth the Etruscan Lars Porsenna who was besieging ancient Rome was so struck by the young man's courage that he removed the siege and retreated.

"Scaevola" actually means "left handed".
