Aesop (620–564 BC) was an ancient Greek story teller credited with a number of fables now collectively known as ‘Aesop's Fables’, though no actual writings by him survive. Many of Aesop’s fables are characterised by anthropomorphic animals that speak and solve problems and end with important morals for the education of children and society at large.
