लेखक के बारे में
Aesop is thought to have lived from 620 to 560 B.C. Legend depicts him as a slave with a gift for talking his way out of trouble or punishment, often reciting his fables to illustrate an injustice or human folly. Mentioned by other classical writers such as Herodotus and Aristotle, he is believed to have died after being thrown off a cliff in punishment for stealing a precious goblet.
