They say that hyenas change sex every year, becoming male one year and female the next. Once a male hyena had unnatural intercourse with a female. She spoke up and said, “Hey, you! Stop that—you’ll soon have the same done to you.” This fable applies to rulers who call their subjects to account, only to find themselves, when circumstances change, called to account by those same subjects.

Τὰς ὑαίνας φασὶ παρʼ ἐνιαυτὸν ἀλλάττειν τὴν φύσιν, καὶ ποτὲ μὲν ἄῤῥενας γίνεσθαι, ποτὲ δὲ θηλείας. Καὶ δή ποτε ἄρσην ὕαινα θηλείᾳ παρὰ φύσιν διελέχθη· ἡ δὲ ὑποτυχοῦσα ἔφη· ,,ἀλλ, ὡ οὐτος, μὴ ταῦτα πρᾶττε, ὡς ἐγγύς τὰ αὐτὰ πεισόμενος.“

Πρὸς ἄρχοντας λογοθετοῦντας τούς ὑπʼ αὐτοὺς, καὶ πάλιν ἐκ τοῦ συμβεβηκότος αὐτοὺς ὑπ’ ἐκείνων λογοθετουμένους.
