Autorenporträt
Aesop, a legendary Greek figure, is believed to have lived around 620-564 BCE. Though there are few concrete historical details about his life, he is often depicted as a slave who earned his freedom through his wit and storytelling abilities. His origin remains debated, with various accounts suggesting he was born in Phrygia, Thrace, or even Ethiopia. Despite his humble beginnings, he reportedly gained prominence as an advisor to King Croesus of Lydia and is said to have died in Delphi under mysterious circumstances, possibly executed for offending the locals¿.The tales attributed to Aesop, known as Aesop's Fables, have had a profound influence on Western literature and moral instruction. These short, engaging stories often feature animals that speak and act like humans, delivering ethical lessons through their adventures. While none of Aesop's own writings survive, his fables were passed down orally for centuries before being written and collected in various cultures¿.Aesop's legacy endures, not only through his fables but also through the way his life became part of folklore. Stories of his sharp mind, his journey from slavery to freedom, and his impact as a storyteller continue to capture imaginations. His fables, including well-known tales like The Tortoise and the Hare and The Boy Who Cried Wolf, remain essential reading for moral education and literary study across the world¿.
