Texts

ἐν βοῒ τᾷδ᾽ ἐμάχοντο Φύσις καὶ πότνια Τέχνα:
ἀμφοτέραις δὲ Μύρων ἶσον ὄπασσε γέρας:
δερκομένοις μὲν γὰρ Φύσιος κράτος ἥρπασε Τέχνα:
αὐτάρ ἐφαπτομένοις ἡ Φύσις ἐστὶ φύσις.

— Paton edition

Dans cette vache, la nature et un art divin ont rivalisé ; à l'une et à l'autre Myron a donné des gages égaux : pour qui la regarde, l'art a ravi à la nature sa puissance ; mais por qui la touche, la nature reste la nature.

— Waltz edition
