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 ljudje
When Zeus had fashioned human beings, he ordered Hermes to pour intelligence into them. Hermes measured out an equal portion for each and poured it in. Thus the short, filled to the brim by their portion, became wise, while the tall became less sensible, since the liquid did not reach throughout their bodies, but only as far as their knees.
This fable is apt for a man of imposing stature but little sense.

Ζεὺς πλάσας ἀνθρώπους ἐκέλευσεν Ἑρμῇ νοῦν αιτοῖς ἐγχέαι· κἀκεῖνος μέτρον ἴσον ποιήσας ἑκάστῳ ἐνέχεε. Συνέβη οὖν τοὺς μὲν μικροφυεῖς πληρωθέντας τοῦ μέτρου φρονίμους γενέσθαι, τοὺς δὲ μακρούς, ἅτε μὴ ἐφικομένου τοῦ ποτοῦ μηδὲ εἰς πᾶν τὸ σῶμα, ἀλλὰ μέχρι γονάτων, ἀφρονεστέρους γενέσθαι.
Πρὸς ἄνδρα εὐμεγέθη τῷ σώματι, κατὰ ψυχὴν δὲ ἀλόγιστον ὁ λόγος εὔκαιρος.
