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. |
