Aesop's Fables (Chambry edition)Chambry 320 = Perry 368 Ποταμὸς καὶ βύρσα.Ποταμὸς δι' αὐτοῦ βύρσαν βοείαν φερομένην ἰδὼν ἠρώτησε· Τίς καλῇ; Τῆς δὲ εἰπούσης· Σκληρὰ καλοῦμαι, ἐπικαχλάσας τῷ ῥεύματι εἶπεν· Ἄλλο τι ζητεῖ καλεῖσθαι· ἐγὼ γὰρ ἤδη ἁπαλήν σε ποιήσω. Ὅτι τολμηρὸν ἄνδρα καὶ αὐθάδη πολλάκις εἰς γῆν κατήγαγε συμφορὰ βίου.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. |
