136. THE MAN AND HIS DAUGHTER
Perry 379 (Life
of Aesop 141)
There was a man who had fallen in love with his own daughter. Goaded
by lust, he sent his wife to the countryside whereupon he forced himself
violently on his daughter. She said to him, 'Father, you are committing
an unholy crime. I would rather have offered myself to a hundred men than
to you!'
