Aesop's Fables (Chambry edition)Chambry 261 = Perry 174 [...] (variant version from Chambry's first edition) Παῖς καὶ Τύχη.Ἐγγὺς φρέατος παῖς τις ἐκοιμᾶτο. Ἐπιστᾶσα δὲ αὐτῷ ἡ Τύχη ἐβόα· Ἀνάστα καὶ ἄπελθε ἐντεῦθεν, μή πως κάτωθεν τοῦ φρέατος πέσῃς, καὶ ἐμὲ τὴν Τύχην καταμέμψωνται πάντες.Ὁ μῦθος δηλοῖ ὅτι πολλάκις σφαλλόμενοι καὶ πράττοντες κακῶς περιπίπτομεν κινδύνοις καὶ μεμφόμεθα τὴν τύχην. 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. |
