Zusammenfassung

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.

/ Aesop lebte nach Angaben Herodots um die Mitte des 6. Jh.[...]. auf Samos. Sicheres über die Person Aesop ist nicht bekannt. Es wird vermutet, dass er ein griechischer Sklave war. Er gilt als Begründer der Fabeldichtung. Seine volkstümlichen Fabeln wurden zunächst mündlich überliefert und erst Jahrhunderte später aufgezeichnet. Unter "Aesop'schen Fabeln" versteht man heute eine bestimmte Art der Erzählung über Wahrheitslehren oder moralische Inhalte.
