Aesop

Aesop was an ancient Greek storyteller. He lived 2500 years ago, around 550 BCE. Little is known about the life of Aesop. Some say he was an ugly hunchbacked slave who so delighted his master with his stories that Aesop was given his freedom. One thing is known for sure - Aesop was a very smart, resourceful and inventive man. We do know, however, that his name is associated with the emergence of fables as a genre in Greek literature. Aesop's fables were not written in his lifetime, but passed on from mouth to mouth. He was a keen observer of both animals and people. Most of the characters in his stories are animals, some of which take on human characteristic and are personified in ways of speech and emotions. Each fable has an accompanying moral .Over the centuries, Aesop's fables have been rewritten and published and illustrated and translated into almost every language in the world.
