Abstract: The words, oral or written, can contain baseless reproaches that, repeated, become slanderous legends. In addition to the words, there are multiple paintings that, in the case that concerns us, represent Saint Augustine on a beach, before a child, who reproaches him for his audacity for trying to delve into the idea of God-Trinity. This has been and continues to be for many writers or preachers, consciously or unconsciously, a witty anecdote that can blur the holy Bishop of Hippo. It is amply proven that this legend reflects a deformation of his personality while exposing in his own words the lofty and clear content of his work De Trinitate.
