Fables have been around as long as the human race. Some of the most popular fables that exist are those by Aesop.
Aesop is one of the most renowned ancient Greek writers of fables. He is believed to have lived around the 6th century BCE and is credited with a collection of moral tales that often feature animals as characters. His fables convey important life lessons and have been passed down through generations, influencing literature and storytelling worldwide. Aesop's most famous fables include "The Tortoise and the Hare" and "The Boy Who Cried Wolf."

Fables were probably being told long before there was writing - so the origin of them has not been recorded.
Fables have been around for thousands of years, with origins traceable to ancient civilizations. One of the earliest known collections is attributed to Aesop, a Greek storyteller believed to have lived around the 6th century BCE. However, similar stories and moral tales can be found in various cultures, suggesting that fables have existed in some form for millennia, serving as a means to convey lessons and morals across generations.
Fables are stories that have been passed down through generations that revolve around a moral, so the importance is essentially enforcing a moral in a 'fun' way, when you tell a child an interesting story that is based on a moral, they are bound to remember it.
Aesop's fables were written around 300 B. C.

Aesop's fables or Babrius Babrius may have written a collection of fables, which was discovered in the 19th century) based on Aesop's fables, only in Greek verse. Babrius may have been a Hellenistic Roman.
Aesop's fables are believed to have originated around 620-560 BCE, making them over 2,600 years old. They have been passed down through generations orally before eventually being compiled and written down.
Fables and legends are from a different source. Fables are made up to express a point or moral. Legends have origins that may or may not have been true but are usually embellishments of the truth to emphasize the meaning of the story. So the answer to fables is no. Legends? Maybe.
