One theory suggests that Aesop was killed by Delphians, who were angered by his witty fables that often criticized their city. Another theory proposes that Aesop was executed by the ruler of Delphi after being falsely accused of stealing a gold cup. It is also suggested that Aesop fell victim to political intrigue and was thrown off a cliff.
