Aesop's Fables - verse version by Babrius
I've got a website full of Aesop's Fables.

Which one do we choose?

I'm thinking The Tortoise and the Hare or The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

There is a Perry translation alongside so think about this as we pick and choose.

Phonetics of the Greek Letters
In both the "Words I can learn" and the song/story sections of this it doesn't have the phonetic pronunciations. I, as a person without any backround in Greek (like the people who would be reading this), have little clue how to pronounce the greek words nor how to say the fable. Prehapes a phonetic pronunciations should be given. N1person 14:01, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Unsuitable text
The "simple story" is totally out of place and also misleading because it is written in a language that is completely antiquated. It differs from today's Greek more than Shakespearean English differs from today's English. See the Wikipedia article on Katharevousa for details. I replaced this text with a children's song.
