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
Pes in lisica
A hunting dog caught sight of a lion and gave chase. But when the lion turned and roared, the dog took fright and fled. A fox who saw him said, “You fool! Were you chasing a lion whose very roar you could not bear?” This fable applies to insolent men who attempt to slander those far more powerful than themselves, only to retreat at once when they meet with resistance.

Κύων θηρευτικὸς, λέοντα ἰδὼν, τοῦτον ἐδίωκεν· ὡς δὲ ἐπιστραφεὶς ἐκεῖνος ἐβρυχήσατο, φοβηθεὶς εἰς τοὐπίσω ἔφυγεν. Ἀλώπηξ δὲ θεασαμένη αὐτὸν ἔφη· „ὦ κακὴ κεφαλὴ, σὺ λέοντα ἐδίωκες, οὗ οὐδὲ τὸν βρυχηθμὸν ὑπέμεινας;“
Ὁ λόγος λεχθείη ἂν ἐπʼ ἀνδρῶν αὐθαδείᾳ συνόντων, oἳ κατὰ πολὺ δυνατωτέρων συκοφαντεῖν ἐπιχειροῦντες, ὅταν ἐκεῖνοι ἀντιστῶσιν, εὐθέως ἀναχαιτίζονται.
