AESOP (c. 620 - c.

560 BC)

Aesop was a legendary sixth-Century BC Greek fabulist. He travelled throughout


ancient Greece, re-telling his quirky fables in which animals were cast with human
characteristics in order to express an accompanying moral. Apparently, Aesop never
recorded his fables on paper. However, his work survived through fable collections
published by Phaedrus and Babrius in the first Century AD.

Literature: Aesop's 101 Fables [selected titles] (550 BC).
