Aesop (also spelled Æsop, from the Greek ΑἴσωποςAisōpos), known only for the genre of fables ascribed to him, was by tradition a slave (δούλος) in the mid–sixth century BC in ancient Greece. The various collections that go under the rubric "Aesop's Fables" are still taught as moral lessons and used as subjects for various entertainments, especially children's plays and cartoons.
