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.

this cow, and Myron gave to each a prize of equal
value. When one looks at it Art robs nature of
her superiority, but when one touches it Nature is
nature.
