Aesop's Fables (Chambry edition)
Chambry 131 = Perry 110
Ἥρως.
Ἥρωά τις ἐπὶ τῆς οἰκίας ἔχων, τούτῳ πολυτελῶς ἔθυεν.
Ἀεὶ δὲ αὐτοῦ ἀναλισκομένου καὶ πολλὰ εἰς θυσίας δαπανῶντος, ὁ ἥρως ἐπιστὰς
αὐτῷ νύκτωρ ἔφη· Ἀλλ', ὦ οὗτος, πέπαυσο τὴν οὐσίαν διαφθείρων· ἐὰν γὰρ πάντα
ἀναλώσας πένης γένῃ, ἐμὲ αἰτιάσῃ.
Οὕτω πολλοὶ διὰ τὴν ἑαυτῶν ἀβουλίαν δυστυχοῦντες τὴν αἰτίαν ἐπὶ τοὺς θεοὺς
ἀναφέρουσιν.
Chambry published a multivolume edition of the fables for the Belles Lettres
series in 1925/6 (Paris). He later revised this into a single volume, omitting
hundreds of the fable variants. In addition, the numeration between these two
volumes is not consistent. The texts here are taken from the 1925/6 edition, but
the numeration follows the stanard single volume edition. |
