What does aesop mean?

Answer 1

Aesop (620-560 BC) was known for the genre of fables ascribed to him, known as Aesop's Fables. Supposedly he was a slave who lived at the same time as Croesus and Peisistratus in the mid-sixth century BC in ancient Greece.

Aesop's Fables are a collection of very short stories that teach lessons, usually with main characters that are animals with human characteristics. The fables are said to have been written in ancient Greece by Aesop. His name is pronounced EE-sup, with EE as in "Easter" and sup as in "supper". It can also be pronounced as EE-sop, with sop as in "sopping wet". There is not total historical agreement on whether he actually wrote the fables or merely was a storyteller who collected the stories. But most often it is believed to be a combination of the two.

Some of his fables are:

• Belling the Cat
• The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse
• The Ant and the Grasshopper
• The Fox and the Crow
