# The Fables of Aesop

_Selected, Told Anew, and Their History Traced_

By Aesop.

"The Fables of Aesop" by Aesop is a collection of fables credited to a storyteller who lived in ancient Greece between 620 and 564 BCE. These short tales feature talking animals and plants that teach moral lessons through simple yet profound scenarios. Originally part of oral tradition, the stories were collected centuries after Aesop's death and have been continuously expanded, translated, and reinterpreted across cultures. The fables address ethical, social, and political themes, offering timeless wisdom through humble incidents that reveal great truths about human nature and behavior.
