Aesop was a slave and the names of his parents are not known.
They were simply known as Tortoise and Hare in Aesop's fables. In Walt Disney's silly symphony cartoon (1935) the names were Max Hare and Toby Tortoise. Why was he called toby tortoise??
Aesop was a slave and the names of his parents are not known.
I would like to nominate Aesop as a famous and early user of fables. There are fables earlier than him of course, but we don't know the names of the authors. Baalim and his talking ass: biblical author unknown; Garden of Eden, Eve talking to the serpent: biblical author unknown.
Most ancient people had no "first" or "last" name, just a name. Greek citizens would have a patronymic, "Hippolytos, the son of Timon," but Aesop was a slave from Thrace, and his father's name is not recorded. Therefore, his only known name is "Aesop".
As a slave Aesop wasn't entitled to a last name. They weren't all that common at the day and age anyways.
Popular animal names for fables include Jack the Lion, Bella the Fox, Willow the Owl, and Finn the Rabbit. These names are simple, easy to remember, and can add charm to the storytelling.
We don't know if Aesop had any kids because his wife was taken away to be a slave. -Ryan Higgins (323) 327-6164
A fable or parable.
Several billion, though the "names" of many of them are things like HS234789.
It is known by several common names including weaver's bottom, clergyman's knee, and miner's elbow, depending on the affected individual's occupation and area of injury.
No. Sometimes people were known by several different names but these are not the same as a pseudo name. The New Testament books were not accepted into the canon if it was known the author was a 'fake'.
