365. THE FOX AND THE HYENA
Perry 242 (Chambry 341)

They say that hyenas change their nature every year, so that sometimes they are male and sometimes female. So when a hyena saw a fox and criticized her for having spurned her friendly overtures, the fox replied, 'Don't blame me! Blame your own nature, which makes it impossible for me to tell whether you would be my girlfriend or my boyfriend!'
This is a story for an ambiguous person.

Note: In Greek and Roman folklore, the hyena was believed to be a hermaphrodite (e.g., Ovid, Metamorphoses 15.408 ff.).
