Aesop's Fables (Chambry edition)Chambry 227 = Perry 347 Λύκος καὶ λέων.Λύκος ποτὲ ἄρας πρόβατον ἐκ ποίμνης ἐκόμιζεν εἰς κοίτην. Λέων δὲ αὐτῷ συναντήσας ἀφεῖλε τὸ πρὸβατον. Ὁ δὲ πόρρωθεν σταθεὶς εἶπεν· "Ἀδίκως ἀφείλου τὸ ἐμόν. " Ὁ δὲ λέων γελάσας ἔφη· "Σοὶ γὰρ δικαίως ὑπὸ φίλου ἐδόθη;"[ Ὅτι ] ἅρπαγας καὶ πλεονέκτας λῃστὰς ἔν τινι πταίσματι κειμένους καὶ ἀλλήλους μεμφομένους ὁ μῦθος ἐλέγχει. 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. |
