Aesop's Fables
Aesop's Fables is a collection of brief, allegorical tales traditionally credited to Aesop, a slave and story-teller believed to have lived in ancient Greece between 620 and 560 BCE. While historians debate whether Aesop was a single historical figure or a composite of storytellers, the fables themselves have become a foundational cornerstone of Western literature, folklore, and moral education.
