Aesop's Fables (Chambry edition)
Chambry 44 = Perry 278
Ἄνδρες δύο περὶ
θεῶν ἐρίζοντες.
Ἄνδρες δύο ἐμάχοντο τίνες
τῶν θεῶν μείζους, Θησεὺς ἢ Ἡρακλῆς. Οἱ
δὲ θεοὶ ὀργισθέντες αὐτοῖς ἑκάτερος
τὴν ἑτέρου χώραν ἠμύνατο.
Ὅτι τῶν ὑπεξουσίων ἡ ἔρις τοὺς δεσπότας
πείθει ὀργίλους εἶναι κατὰ τῶν ὑπηκόων.
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. |
