Aesop's Fables (Chambry edition)Chambry 297 = Perry 211 [...] (variant version from Chambry's first edition) Παῖς λουόμενος.Παῖς λουόμενος ἐν ποταμῷ ἐκινδύνευε πνιγῆναι. Καὶ ἰδών τινα παροδίτην ἐπεφώνει· Βοήθησόν τι. Ὁ δὲ ἐμέμφετο τῷ παιδὶ τολμηρίαν. Τὸ δὲ παιδίον εἶπεν· Ἀλλὰ νῦν μοι βοήθησον· ὕστερον δὲ σωθέντα μέμφου.Ὁ μῦθος δηλοῖ ὅτι μὴ μέμφου, πλὴν ἐλέει· καὶ γὰρ παράληκτον ποιεῖς τὸν λυπούμενον. 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. |
