Zvijačni mož
A mischief-maker wagered with someone that he could prove the oracle at Delphi false. When the appointed day came, he took a sparrow in his hand, concealed it beneath his cloak, and went to the temple. Standing before the oracle, he asked whether the creature he held in his hands was alive or dead. His plan was to show the sparrow alive if the answer was “dead,” but to strangle it and bring it out if the answer was “alive.” But the god, seeing through his trickery, said, “Enough of this, fellow! It rests with you whether the creature you hold is dead or alive.” The fable shows that the divine cannot be deceived.

Ἀνὴρ κακοπράγμων συνορισάμενος πρός τινα ψεθδὲς ἐπιδείξειν τὸ ἐν Δελφοῖς μαντεῖον, ὡς ἐνέστη ἡ προθεσμία, λαβὼν στρουθίον εἰς τὴν χεῖρα, καὶ τοῦτο τῷ ίματίῳ σκεπάσας, ἧκεν εἰς τὸ ίερὸν, καὶ στὰς ἄντικρυς ἐπηρώτα, πότερόν τι ἔμπνουν ἔχει μετὰ χεῖρας ἢ ἄπνουν; βουλόμενος, ἐὰν μὲν ἄψυχον εἴπῃ, ζῶν τὸ στρουθίον ἐπιδεῖξαι, ἐὰν δὲ ἔμπνουν, ἀποπνίξας προενεγκεῖν. Καὶ ὁ θεὸς συνεὶς αὐτοῦ τὴν κακοτεχνίαν εἶπεν· ,,ἀλλʼ ὦ οὗτος, πέπαυσο· ἐν σοὶ γὰρ ἔστι, τοῦτο ὃ ἔχεις ἢ νεκρὸν εἶναι ἢ ἔμψυχον.“
Ὁ λόγος δηλοῖ, ὅτι τὸ θεῖον ἀπαρεγχείρητόν ἐστι.
