Aesop's Fables (Chambry edition)Chambry 343 = Perry 375 Φαλακρὸς ἱππεύς.Φαλακρός τις τρίχας ξένας τῇ ἑαυτοῦ κορυφῇ περιθεὶς ἵππευεν. Ἄνεμος δέ φυσήσας ἀφείλετο ταύτας· γέλως πλατὺς δὲ τοὺς παρεστῶτας εἶχεν. Κἀκεῖνος εἶπε τοῦ δρόμου παύσας· Τὰς οὐκ ἐμὰς τρίχας τί ξένον φεύγειν με, αἳ καὶ τὸν ἔχοντα ταύτας, μεθ' οὗ καὶ ἐγεννήθησαν, κατέλιπον;Ὅτι μηδεὶς λυπείσθω ἐπὶ συμφορᾷ ἐπελθούσῃ· ὃ γὰρ γεννηθεὶς οὐκ ἔσχεν ἐκ φύσεως, τοῦτο οὐδὲ παραμένει· γυμνοὶ γὰρ ἤλθομεν, γυμνοὶ καὶ ἀπελευσόμεθα. 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. |
