Aesop's Fables (Chambry edition)Chambry 220 = Perry 157 Λύκος καὶ αἴξ.Λύκος θεασάμενος αἶγα ἐπί τινος κρημνώδους ἄντρου νεμομένην, ἐπειδὴ οὐκ ἠδύνατο αὐτῆς ἐφικέσθαι, κατωτέρω παρῄνει αὐτῇ καταβῆναι, μὴ καὶ πέσῃ λαθοῦσα, λέγων ὡς ἀμείνων ὁ παρ' αὐτῷ λειμών ἐστι, ἐπεὶ καὶ ἡ πόα σφόδρα εὐανθής. Ἡ δὲ ἀπεκρίνατο πρὸς αὐτόν· "Ἀλλ' οὐκ ἐμὲ ἐπὶ νομὴν καλεῖς, αὐτὸς δὲ τροφῆς ἀπορεῖς."Οὕτω καὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων οἱ κακοῦργοι, ὅταν παρὰ τοῖς εἰδόσι πονηρεύωνται ἀνόητοι τῶν τεχνασμάτων γίνονται. 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. |
