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 Zemlja
Zeus, having fashioned a man and a woman, ordered Hermes to lead them down to earth and show them where they could dig to enrich themselves. When Hermes carried out his orders, Earth at first refused to let them. But when he insisted, saying that Zeus had commanded it, she said, “Then let them dig as much as they please; they will give it back with groans and tears.” This fable is apt for those who borrow readily but repay with sorrow.

Ζεὺς πλάσας ἄνδρα καὶ γυναῖκα ἐκέλευσεν Ἑρμῇ ἀγαγεῖν αὐτούς ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ δεῖξαι ὅθεν ὀρύξαντες πλεῖον ποιήσουσι. Τοῦ δὲ τὸ προσταχθὲν ποιήσαντος, ἡ γῆ τὸ μὲν πρῶτον ἐκώλυεν· ὡς δὲ ὁ Ἑρμῆς ἠνάγκαζε λέγων, τὸν Δία προστεταχέναι· ,,ἀλλʼ ὀρυσσέτωσαν,“ ἔφη, ,, ὅσην βούλονται· στένοντες γὰρ αὐτὴν καὶ κλαίοντες ἀποδώσουσιν.“
Πρὸς τοὺς ῥᾳδίως δανειζομένους καὶ μετὰ λύπης ἀποδιδόντας ὁ λόγος εὔκαιρος.
