The lions represent Santiago's youth, strength, and vitality in days gone by.

"Santiago dreams of Africa, where he traveled as a shipmate in his youth. "He lived along that coast now every night and in his dreams he head the surf roar and saw the native boats come riding through it... He dreamed of places now and lions on the beach"
