A study of the fourteen versions known to us of the fable «The Swallow and the Birds». The richness of the tradition of this fable allows to follow its evolution from Demetrius Phalereus onwards through Classical. Medieval and Indian literatures. It is possible to point out four choliambic versions directly derived in III B.C. from Demetrius together with another old version maybe in prose, maybe in verse. The four choliambic versions produced the prosifications preserved in Coll. Augustana (39a and b H.), in P. Rylands 493 and in P. Mich. 457 plus P. Yale inv. 1158 v. Some traces of the fifth version can be found in Romulus 77 and Tantrākhyāyika III 11. Secondary derivations in Babrius, Phaedrus and in the Middle Ages are also studied. The study as a whole tries to show how can be reconstructed the evolution of a fable in its form and contents as well as its temporal and geographical dispersion.
