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
Zevs in lisica
Zeus, admiring the fox’s intelligence and cunning, entrusted her with sovereignty over the beasts. Wishing to discover whether her change of fortune had also changed her character, he let a beetle loose before her eyes as she was being carried in a litter. Unable to restrain herself as it flew about, she leaped unceremoniously from the litter and tried to catch it. Indignant at her behavior, Zeus restored her to her former station.
The fable shows that base people, even when they assume grander outward trappings, do not change their nature.

Ζεὺς ἀγασάμενος ἀλώπεκος τὸ συνετὸν τῶν φρενῶν καὶ τὸ ποικίλον, τὸ βασίλειον αὐτῇ τῶν ἀλόγων ζώων ἐνεχείρισε. Βουλόμενος δὲ γνῶναι, εἰ τὴν τύχην μεταλλάξασα μετεβάλετο καὶ τὴν ἕξιν, φερομένης ἐν φορείῳ, κάνθαρον παρὰ τὴν ὄψιν ἀφῆκεν. Ἡ δὲ ἀντισχεῖν μὴ δυναμένη, ἐπειδὴ περιίπτατο, τοῦ φορείου ἀναπηδήσασα ἀκόσμως συλλαβεῖν αὐτὸν ἐπειρᾶτο. Καὶ ὁ Ζεὺς ἀγανακτήσας κατʼ αὐτῆς πάλιν αὐτὴν εἰς τὴν ἀρχαίαν τάξιν ἀποκατέστησεν.
Ὁ λόγος δηλοῖ, ὅτι οἱ φαῦλοι τῶν ἀνθρώπων, κἂν τὰ προσχήματα λαμπρότερα ἀναλάβωσι, τὴν γοῦν φύσιν οὐ μετατίθενται.
