It is no wonder then that we talk thusText and apparatus from R. Kassel et C. Austin, edd., Poetae Comici Graeci, I: Comoedia Dorica, Mimi, Phlyaces (Berlin: Walter de Gruyter, 2001), p. 163:
and are pleased with ourselves and think
we are fine folk. For to a dog a dog
appears the fairest of things, and an ox to an ox,
an ass to an ass the fairest, and verily a pig to a pig.
θαυμαστὸν οὐδὲν ἁμὲ ταῦθ᾽ οὕτω λέγειν
καὶ ἁνδάνειν αὐτοῖσιν αὐτοὺς καὶ δοκεῖν
καλὼς πεφύκειν· καὶ γὰρ ἁ κύων κυνὶ
κάλλιστον εἶμεν φαίνεται καὶ βοῦς βοΐ,
ὄνος δ᾽ ὄνῳ κάλλιστον, ὗς δέ θην ὑί.
