Prevod

When Zeus was celebrating his wedding, all the animals brought gifts, each according to its means. A snake came slithering up with a rose in its mouth. When Zeus saw it, he said, “I accept gifts from all the others, but from your mouth I will take nothing at all.” The fable shows that favors from the wicked are to be feared.

Izvirnik

Τοῦ Διὸς γάμους ποιοῦντος, πάντα τὰ ζῶα ἀνήνεγκαν δῶρα, ἕκαστον κατὰ τὴν οἰκείαν δύναμιν· ὄφις δὲ ἕρπων, ῥόδον λαβὼν ἐν τῷ στόματι, ἀνέβη. Ἰδὼν δὲ αὐτὸν ὁ Ζεὺς ἔφη· ,,τῶν ἄλλων πάντων τὰ δῶρα λαμβάνω, ἀπὸ δὲ τοῦ σοῦ στόματος λαμβάνω οὐδʼ ὅλως.“

Ὁ μῦθος δηλοῖ, ὅτι τῶν πονηρῶν αἱ χάριτες φοβεραί εἰσιν.
