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, Pozejdon in Atena
Zeus, Poseidon, and Athena held a contest to see who could make the finest creation. Zeus made a man of surpassing beauty, Poseidon a bull, and Athena a house for people to live in; Momus was appointed their judge. First he found fault with the position of the bull’s horns, saying they ought to have been placed below its eyes so that it could see where it was striking. As for the man, he said his thoughts and intentions ought to be laid bare, so that everyone could see what he was planning. And he criticized the house because Athena had not fitted it with iron wheels, so that it could travel abroad with its owners and escape a wicked neighbor.

Ζεὺς καὶ Ποσειδῶν καὶ Ἀθηνᾶ ἔριν ἐποιήσαντο, τίς κάλλιόν τι ποιήσει. Καὶ ὁ μὲν Ζεὺς ἄνθρωπον εὐπρεπέστατον ἐποίησεν, ὁ δὲ Ποσειδῶν ταῦρον, ἡ δὲ Ἀθηνᾶ οἶκον ἀνθρώποις· κριτὴς δʼ ἦν ἐπὶ τούτοις Μῶμος. Καὶ πρῶτον μὲν ἔψεγε τὴν θέσιν τῶν κεράτων τοῦ ταύρου, κάτωθεν τῶν ὀμμάτων λέγων ὀφείλειν κεῖσθαι, ὡς ἂν βλέπῃ, ποῦ τύπτει· τοῦ δέ γε τὰς φρένας [ἀνθρώπου] καὶ τὰς βουλὰς φανερὰς εἶναι, ὡς ἄν διαγινώσκηται, τί βουλεύεται ἕκαστος· τῆς δὲ οἰκίας, ὅτι μὴ τροχοὺς σιδηροῦς αὐτῇ ἐποίησεν, ἵνα καὶ τοῖς δεσπόταις συνεξεδήμει καὶ γείτονα πονηρὸν ἐξέφευγεν.
