- Abstract
- en_US Here is a offprint of an article from this journal: Mitteilungen der Altorientalischen Gesellschaft, II. Band - Heft 3. Ebeling here confirms the Babylonian background of the Greek fable first recommended by Diels around 1910. Ebeling offers three sorts of fables that show both formal correspondence and some identity in detail. First is a set of arguments about greatness between various kinds of trees. The second and third types concern animals. The second set includes epic fables, which I take to indicate stories, particularly stories again of arguments between two kinds of animals. The third type is close to the joke. Here my favorite gets repeated. Allen meinen Lesern dürfte die Fabel von der Mücke und dem Stier bekannt sein…. (49). He presents the Babylonian fable of the elephant and the gnat. Here is a bit of good old German Wissenschaft at work!
