Aesop's Fables (Chambry edition)Chambry 324 = Perry 213 (variant version from Chambry's first edition) Ῥοιὰ καὶ μηλέα καὶ ἐλαία καὶ βάτος.Ῥοιὰ καὶ μηλέα περὶ κάλλους ἤριζον· πολλῶν δ' ἀμπισβητήσεων μέταξυ γενομένων, βὰτος ἐκ τοῦ πλησίον ἀκούσασα φραγμοῦ· Παυσώμεθα, εἶπεν, ὦ φίλαι, ποτὲ μαχόμεναι.Ὁ μῦθος δηλοῖ ὅτι ἐν ταῖς τῶν ἀμεινόνων στάσεσι καὶ οἱ μηδενὸς ἄξιοι πειρῶνται εἶναί τι. 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. |
