Aesop’s Fables refers to a collection of fables thought to have been written by legendary Greek fabulist Aesop (circa 620-560 B.C.). Little was known about Aesop from credible records. According to Herodotus, Aesop was a slave of African descent and eventually was freed by his master.

The fables called Aesop’s fables were preserved through some people’s verse translations. The most famous of these fables include “The Fox and the Grapes” (from which the idiom “sour grapes” was derived), and “The Tortoise and the Hare”.

Aesop’s creation has been and still is very successful and has been copied by writers of fables in all ages and in any countries. The main characters in these stories are animals, and each story demonstrates a moral lesson. The fables remain a popular choice for moral education today.
