Aesop's Fables (Chambry edition)Chambry 207 = Perry 339 Λέων καὶ ὄναγρος.Θῆρας ἐθήρευον λέων καὶ ὄναγρος, ὁ μὲν λέων διὰ τῆς δυνάμεως ὁ δὲ ὄναγρος διὰ τῆς ἐν ποσὶ ταχύτητος. Ἐπεὶ δὲ ζῷά τινα ἐθήρευσαν, ὁ λέων μερίζει καὶ τίθησι τρεῖς μοίρας, καί· "Τὴν μὲν μίαν, εἶπεν, λήψομαι ὡς πρῶτος· βασιλεὺς γάρ εἰμι· τὴν δὲ δευτέραν, ὡς ἐξ ἰσοῦ κοινωνός· ἡ δὲ τρίτη μοῖρα αὕτη κακὸν μέγα σοι ποιήσει, εἰ μὴ θελήσις φυγεῖν."Ὅτι καλὸν ἑαυτὸν μετρεῖν ἐν πᾶσι κατὰ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ἰσχὺν καὶ δυνατωτέροις ἑαυτοῦ μὴ συνάπτειν μηδὲ κοινωνωεῖν. 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. |
