Aesop's Fables (Chambry edition)Chambry 213 = Perry 146 Λέων μῦν φοβηθεὶς καὶ ἀλώπηξ.Λέοντος κοιμωμένου μῦς τὸ σῶμα διέδραμεν. Ὁ δὲ ἐξαναστὰς πανταχόθεν περιειλίττετο ζητῶν τὸν προσεληλυθότα. Ἀλώπηξ δὲ αὐτὸν θεασαμένη ὠνείδιζεν, εἰ λέων ὤν μῦν ηὐλαβήθη. Καὶ ὃς ἀπεκρίνατο· "Οὐ τὸν μῦν ἐφοβήθην, ἐθαύμασα δὲ εἴ τις λέοντος κοιμωμένου τὸ σῶμα ἐπιδραμεῖν ἐτόλμησεν."Ὁ λόγος διδάσκει τοὺς φρονίμους τῶν ἀνθρώπων μηδὲ τῶν μετρίων πραγμάτων καταφρονεῖν. 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. |
