The Crow and the Snake
The Crow or Raven and the Snake or Serpent is one of Aesop's Fables and numbered 128 in the Perry Index.〔(Aesopica site )〕 Alternative Greek versions exist and two of these were adopted during the European Renaissance. The fable is not to be confused with the story of this title in the ''Panchatantra'', which is completely different.
==Alternative Greek versions==
In ancient times the fable is found only in Greek sources and concerns a crow in search of food that finds a snake asleep in the sun. But when the crow seizes her, the snake kills it with her sting. The story's moral is that good fortune may not be all that it seems.〔F.R.Adrados, ''History of the Graeco-Latin Fable'', Leiden NL 2003, (p.168 )〕 An alternative fable concerning a raven and a scorpion is included as a poem by Archias of Mytilene in the Greek Anthology.〔( Archived online )〕 The story is much the same but the moral drawn is that the biter shall be bit. Another epigram by Antipater of Thessalonica, dating from the first century BCE, has an eagle carry off an octopus sunning itself on a rock, only to be entangled in its tentacles and fall into the sea, 'losing both its prey and its life’.〔III.10 (archived online )〕
