Name two of Aesop's fables

Answer 1

Aesop's Fables are just that: fables written by a 7th century (BC) fabulist named Aesop. They typically involve animals with human-like qualities and always come with some sort of moral or lesson to be learned. One of the most famous fables written by Aesop is "The Tortoise and the Hare".

Answer 2

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, a slave, in 620-560 BC. 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 story-teller who collected the stories. But most often it is the former that is accepted. The list of fables attributed to Aesop also varies, but according to WikiPedia (see link section for web link), here is a list of the most common ones said to have originated from Aesop: * Lion's Share * The Ant and the Grasshopper * The Bear and the Travelers * The Boy Who Cried Wolf * The Boy Who Was Vain * The Cat and the Mice * The Crow and the Pitcher * The Deer Without a Heart * The Dog and the Bone * The Dog and the Wolf * The Dog in the Manger * The Farmer and the Stork * The Farmer and the Viper * The Frog and the Ox * The Frogs Who Desired a King * The Fox and the Crow * The Fox and the Goat * The Fox and the Grapes * The Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs * The Lion and the Mouse * The Mice in Council * The Mischievous Dog * The North Wind and the Sun * The Tortoise and the Hare * The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse * The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing * The Fox and the Cat --may be one of Aesop's fables * The Scorpion and the Frog -- attributed to Aesop but is not his

Answer 3

Aesop (620-560 BC) lived in Greece. Many fables are attributed to him. However, these were passed on by oral tradition and it was a few hundred years before anyone thought of writing them down! Apparently Socrates (469 -399 BC) made a start at making a written compilation while he was in prison, and Phalereous made another collection on 300 BC, both collections being made into one collection in due course. However but it seems that additional, non-Aesop, fables were also included. Analysis of the fables indicate that some/many of the fables seem to have origins dating back to before Aesop's time. So Aesop may not have been the 'author' of all the fables known as Aesop's Fables. So when was the first Aesop's Fable written? We don't really know! See Related Links below.
