Čebela in Zevs
A bee from Mount Hymettus, a mother of honeycombs, ascended to the home of the gods, bringing Zeus honey as yet untouched by smoke. Zeus was delighted with the gift and promised to grant her whatever reward she asked. She said, “Give me a sting, so that if any human comes near to steal the fruit of my labors, I may kill him.” Zeus was displeased at her request, for he loved humankind. Nevertheless, unwilling though he was, he granted it, since he had given his word. But the sting he gave her was such that she herself would die the moment she struck, for the sting is the very life of this winged creature.

Ὑμηττία μέλισσα, κηρίων μήτηρ, ἀνῆλθεν εἰς θεῶν οἴκους, φέρουσα τῷ Διὶ μέλι μήπω καπνισθέν. Ὁ Ζεὺς δὲ τῷ δώρῳ ἐτέρφθη, καὶ ὑπέσχετο δοῦναι γέρας ὃ ἂν αἰτήσηται. Ἡ δʼ εἶπε· „δός μοι κέντρον, ἵνα, εἴ τις ἀνθρώπων τὸ ἐμὸν ἔργον πλησιάσοι ἆραι, ἀναιρῶ τοῦτον. Ἀπηρέσθη δὲ ὁ Ζεὺς τῇ αἰτήσει· ἠγάπα γὰρ τούς ἀνθρώπους· ὅμως καὶ μὴ θέλων ἔδωκεν· εἶπε γὰρ δώσειν. Τοιοῦτον δʼ ἔδωκεν, ὡς αὐτὴν ἀποθνήσκειν ἅμα τῷ πλῆξαι· ζωὴ γὰρ αὐτῆς ἐστι πετομένης τὸ κέντρον.
