Aesop's Fables (Chambry edition)
Chambry 106 = Perry 98
Ἔριφος ἐπὶ δώματος
ἑστὼς καὶ λύκος.
Ἔριφος ἐπὶ τινος
δώματος ἑστώς, ἐπειδὴ λύκον παριόντα
εἶδεν, ἐλοιδόρει καὶ ἔσκωπτεν αὐτόν.
Ὁ δὲ λύκος ἔφη· Ὦ οὗτος, οὐ σύ με λοιδορεῖς,
ἀλλ' ὁ τόπος. Ὁ μῦθος δηλοῖ ὅτι πολλάκις
καὶ ὁ τόπος καὶ ὁ καιρὸς δίδωσι τὸ
θράσος κατὰ τῶν ἀμεινόνων.
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. |
