Aesop's Fables (Chambry edition)Chambry 166 = Perry 323
(variant version from Chambry's first edition) Κόραξ καὶ Ἑρμῆς. Κόραξ ἐν παγίδι κρατηθεὶς ηὔξατο τῷ Ἀπόλλωνι λιβανωτὸν ἐπιθύσειν, εἰ τῆς παγίδος αὐτὸν ῥύσειε. Σωθεὶς δὲ τῆς ὑποσχέσεως ἐπελάθετο. Αὖθις δὲ ἐν ἑτέρᾳ παγίδι ληφθείς, ἀφεὶς τὸν Ἀπόλλωνα, τῷ Ἑρμῇ ηὔξατο θῦσαι. Ὁ δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν εἶπεν· Ὦ κάκιστον ζῷον, πῶς σοι πιστεύσω, ὅτι πρότερόν σου δεσπότην ἠδίκησας;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. |
