Aesop's Fables (Chambry edition)Chambry 113 = Perry 310 Εὔνουχος καὶ ἱερεύς. Εὔνουχος προσῆλθε ἱερεῖ, θυσίαν ὑπὲρ αὐτοῦ ποιῆσαι παρακαλῶν εἰς τὸ γενέσθαι παίδων πατέρα. Ὁ δὲ ἱερεὺς ἔφη· Ὅτε μὲν πρὸς τὴν θυσίαν ἀπίδω, πατέρα σε γενέσθαι παίδων παρακαλῶ· ὅτε δὲ τὴν σὴν ὄψιν ἴδω, οὐδ' ἀνὴρ φαίνῃ.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. |
