2024 (English)In: Power, Gender, and Mobility: Apects of Indo-European Society / [ed] Riccardo Ginevra; Stefan Höfler; Birgit Anette Olsen, Köpenhamn: Museum Tusculanum Press, 2024, p. 125-140Chapter in book (Refereed)
Abstract [en]

By proceeding from August Schleicher’s exercise in representing the character of spoken Proto-Indo-European through a self-invented fable, an attempt is made to extend the fable as a progymnastic tool of comparison in terms also of its moral so as to grasp the fundamentals of Indo-European sociology. Two fables from the Aesopean corpus (“The Lamb and the Wolf[Perry Index 261]” and “The Wolf and the Well-fed Dog [Perry Index 346]”) are selected for this purpose in order to create a model consisting of four parametric slots: that of (1) the pastoral obligations of kingship; (2) the merits of hospitality and patronage; (3) crime, deception, and prostitution; and (4) the punitive and martial obligations of wolfish kingship.
