EDITORS COMMENTS
Aesop (c. 620-564 BC): Ancient Greek Fabulist and Author of Aesop's Fables This enchanting engraving depicts the legendary Greek fabulist, Aesop, who lived around 620-564 BC. Aesop is renowned for his collection of fables, which have been cherished for centuries and continue to captivate readers of all ages. The image showcases Aesop, dressed in the attire of the ancient Greeks, seated under the shade of a palm tree. Surrounding him are a variety of animals, including a lion, deer, horse, sheep, elephant, and a bird, which are believed to be characters from his timeless stories. Aesop was a man of humble origins, born into slavery. Despite his humble beginnings, he gained his freedom through his exceptional wit and intelligence. His fables often featured animals as characters, imparting moral lessons through their actions and interactions. These tales have become an integral part of world literature and have been translated into numerous languages. This particular engraving is from a French edition published in 1801, offering a glimpse into the enduring appeal of Aesop's Fables. The antique artwork beautifully captures the essence of Aesop's tales, transporting us back to a time when storytelling was an essential means of passing down wisdom and knowledge from one generation to another.
