Aesop's Fables (Chambry edition)Chambry 350 = Perry 377 Χελιδὼν κομπάζουσα καὶ κορώνη.Ἡ χελιδὼν ἔφη πρὸς τὴν κορώνην· Ἐγὼ παρθένος καὶ Ἀθηναία καὶ βασίλισσα καὶ βασιλέως τῶν Ἀθηνῶν θυγάτηρ εἰμί, καὶ προσέθηκε καὶ τὸν Τηρέα καὶ τὴν βίαν καὶ τὴν ἀποκοπὴν τῆς γλώττης. Καὶ ἡ κορώνη· Τί ἄν, ἔφη, ἐποίησας, εἰ τὴν γλῶτταν εἶχες, ὅπου, τμηθείσης,τοσαῦτα λαλεῖς; Ὅτι οἱ ἀλαζόνες διὰ τοῦ λόγου ψευδολογοῦντες αὐτοὶ ἑαυτοῖς ἔλεγχος καθίστανται. 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. |
