Selected Fables of Phaedrus: With Indicated Quantities is a book that was first published in 1894. It is a collection of fables written by the ancient Roman poet, Phaedrus. The fables are written in Latin and have been translated into English for this edition. The book includes a total of 111 fables, each of which has been carefully selected to showcase Phaedrus' unique style and wit. What sets this edition apart from other translations is the inclusion of ""indicated quantities."" These are numerical values that have been added to the fables to give readers a better understanding of the moral lesson being taught. For example, in one fable, a wolf tries to convince a lamb to come closer to him so that he can eat her. The lamb refuses, and the wolf responds by accusing her of stirring up the water in the stream and making it muddy. The lamb responds that she is downstream from the wolf and therefore cannot be responsible for the muddy water. The moral of the story is that evil people will always find a way to justify their actions, no matter how wrong they are. The indicated quantity for this fable is ""The wicked invent pretexts for their wickedness.""Overall, Selected Fables of Phaedrus: With Indicated Quantities is a fascinating and insightful book that provides readers with a glimpse into the mind of one of the ancient world's most celebrated poets. The fables are entertaining, thought-provoking, and timeless, making them just as relevant today as they were when they were first written.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
