O izvirniku

Besedilo
Zevs, Prometej, Atena in Momos
Zeus, Prometheus, and Athena had each made something—Zeus a bull, Prometheus a man, and Athena a house—and chose Momus to judge their work. But Momus, envious of their creations, found fault with them all. Zeus, he said, had made a mistake in not placing the bull’s eyes on its horns, so that it could see where it struck. Prometheus had erred by not hanging the man’s mind on the outside, so that wicked people could not escape detection, with everyone revealing whatever thoughts they harbored. Third, he said that Athena ought to have put wheels beneath the house, so that anyone who found himself living beside a bad neighbor could easily move away. Zeus, indignant at his spitefulness, cast him out of Olympus.
The fable shows that nothing is so excellent that some fault cannot be found with it.

Ζεὺς καὶ Προμηθεὺς καὶ Ἀθηνᾶ κατασκευάσαντες, ὁ μὲν ταῦρον, ὁ Προμηθεὺς ἄνθρωπον, ἡ δὲ οἶκον, Μῶμον κριτὴν εἵλοντο. Ὁ δὲ, φθονήσας τοῖς δημιουργήμασιν, ἀχθόμενος ἔλεγε· τὸν μὲν Δία ἡμαρτηκέναι, τοῦ ταύρου τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἐπὶ τοῖς κέρασι μὴ θέντα, ἵνα βλέπῃ ποῦ τύπτει· τὸν δὲ Προμηθέα, διότι ἀνθρώπου τὰς φρένας οὐκ ἔξωθεν ἀπεκρέμασεν, ἵνα μὴ λανθάνωσιν οἱ πονηροὶ, φανεροῦντες, εἴ τι ἕκαστος κατὰ νοῦν ἔχει. Τρίτον δὲ ἔλεγεν, ὡς ἔδει τὴν Ἀθηνᾶν τῷ οἱκῳ τροχοὺς ὑποθεῖναι, ἵνα, ἐὰν πονηρῷ τις παροικισθῇ γείτονι, ῥᾳδίως μεταβαίνῃ. Καὶ ὁ Ζεὺς, ἀγανακτήσας κατʼ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῇ βασκανίᾳ, τοῦ Ὀλύμπου αὐτὸν ἐξέβαλεν.
Ὁ λόγος δηλοῖ, ὅτι οὐδὲν οὕτως ἐστὶν ἐνάρετον, ὃ μὴ πάντως περί τι ψόγον ἐπιδέχεται.
