Aesop's Fables (Chambry edition)Chambry 168 = Perry 324 Κόραξ νοσῶν. Κόραξ νοσῶν ἔφη τῇ μητρί· "Μῆτερ, εὔχου τῷ θεῷ καὶ μὴ θρήνει. "Ἡ δ' ὑπολαβοῦσα ἔφη· "Τίς σε, ὦ τέκνον, τῶν θεῶν ἐλεήσει; τίνος γὰρ κρέας ὑπὸ σοῦ γε οὐκ ἐκλάπη;"Ὁ μῦθος δηλοῖ ὅτι οἱ πολλοὺς ἐχθροὺς ἐν βίῳ ἔχοντες οὐδένα φίλον ἐν ἀνάγκῃ εὑρήσουσιν. 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. |
