Значение термина aesop в knolik


aesop - Aesop (c. 620-560 b.c.)
aesop - Traditional author of the famous collection of fables. A native of Phrygia and originally a slave in Samos, he is said to have won the favour of Croesus, king of Lydia, who employed him on important missions. One of these was to Delphi, and Aesop, giving offence to the Delphians, was thrown over a precipice. Tradition represents him as very ugly but very witty. The fables in Greek verse -by Babrius (3rd century a.d. ) and in Latin verse by Phatdrus (q.v.) contain translations or adaptations of many fables ascribed to Aesop.
