Overview
Aesop was a slave and storyteller who lived in ancient Greece around 620ā564 BC. No writings by him exist (if they ever existed at all), yet numerous stories and tales have been credited to him and have been shared through oral tradition throughout the world.Ā Many of these use animals as the main characters to convey deeper meanings and morals that have become ingrained in our cultural--and personal--belief systems. For example, in āThe Goatherd and the Goatā we learn that there is no use trying to hide what canāt be hidden. In āThe Ass and the Purchaserā we find that people are known by the company they keep. In āThe Boys and the Frogs,ā one personās pleasure may be another personās pain. āThe Dogs and the Foxā show how easy it is to kick a man when heās down. And misery loves company, as we see in āThe Fox Without a Tail.āĀ
