Aesop's Fables (Chambry edition)Chambry 342 = Perry 223 (variant version from Chambry's first edition) Ὗς καὶ κύων περὶ εὐτοκίας.Ὗς καὶ κύων περὶ εὐτοκίας ἤριζον. Ἔφη δ' ἡ κύων εὔτοκος εἶναι μάλιστα πάντων τῶν πεζῶν ζώων. Καὶ ἡ ὗς ὑποτυχοῦσα πρὸς ταῦτα φησίν· Ἀλλ', ὅταν τοῦτο λέγῃς, ἴσθι ὅτι και τυφλοὺς τοὺς σαυτῆς σκύλακας τίκτεις.Ὁ μῦθος δηλοῖ ὅτι οὐκ ἐν τῷ τάχει τὰ πράγματα, ἀλλ' ἐν τῇ τελειότητι κρίνεται. 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. |
