Aoeop’a Fables.
It is true that some "translators“ of
Aesop's Fables use “heu" for "g.H»se"
in the fable about th«> golden egg. but
the Greek of the “text” Is “chen,"
which looks like nonie fountainhead
of "heu" but really means “goose."
The accepted translators, or rather
adapters, follow the familiar word of
the vast majority, "goose." It must be
remembered that there really Is no
original Aesopian text, but only some
later transcriptions of what came to
be regarded as the fables told by the
old slave. The actual fount of the
Aesopian folklore was Babrius. a Hel­
lenistic fabulist of the second century,
who wrote the fables in verse. Since
there have beeu many versions and

Greek w«>nl “chen" was pronounced
“kaue," and hence It has no relation
to “hen" except Its belonging to the
fowl family.
