O izvirniku
Ezopove basni
Kratke basni, kjer živali v nekaj potezah razkrijejo človeške slabosti. Bralni jezik je English, izvirnik pa prihaja iz vira Ezopove basni v jeziku Ancient Greek.
Besedilo
Hermes in pes
By the roadside stood a four-sided pillar of Hermes, with a heap of stones at its base. A dog approached and said, “First, greetings, Hermes! Next, I should like to anoint you, rather than pass a god by without paying my respects—and a god of the wrestling ground, at that.” Hermes replied, “If you refrain from coming up to lick the oil off me, and do not piss on me either, I shall be grateful. Pay me no greater honor.” For the wicked, when they are incapable of doing anything better, it is enough for the time being if they at least refrain from their usual misdeeds.

Ἐν ὁδῷ τις Ἑρμῆς τετράγωνος εἰστήκει, λίθων δʼ ὑπʼ αὐτῷ σωρὸς ἦν. κύων τούτῳ εἶπε προσελθών· ,,χαῖρε πρῶτον, Ἑρμεία· ἔπειτʼ ἀλεῖψαι βούλομαί σε, μηδ’ οὕτω θεὸν παρελθεῖν, καὶ θεὸν παλαιστρίτην.“ ὁ δʼ εἶπεν· ,,ἄν μὴ τοῦτό μούπιλιχμήσῃς τοὔλαιον ἐλθών, μηδέ μοι προσουρήσῃς, χάριν εἴσομαί σοι· καὶ πλέον με μὴ τίμα.“
Ὅτι τοῖς κακοῖς ἀρκεῖ τέως, οὐκ ἄλλως πως δυναμένοις δρᾶσαι τὰ βελτίω, κἂν τῶν συνήθων αὐτῶν αἰτιῶν ἀργῆσαι.
