Aesop's Fables (Chambry edition)
Chambry 348 = Perry 229
Χελιδὼν καὶ κορώνη περὶ κάλλους φιλονεικοῦσαι.
Χελιδὼν καὶ κορώνη περὶ κάλλους ἐφιλονείκουν· ὑποτυχοῦσα
δὲ ἡ κορώνη πρὸς αὐτὴν εἶπεν· Ἀλλὰ τὸ μὲν σὸν κάλλος τὴν ἐαρινὴν ὥραν ἀνθεῖ,
τὸ δὲ ἐμὸν σῶμα καὶ χειμῶνι παρατείνεται.
Ὁ λόγος δηλοῖ ὅτι ἡ τοῦ σώματος παράτασις εὐπρεπείας καλλίων.
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. |
