"Æsop's Fables" by Aesop is a collection of fables credited to a storyteller who lived in ancient Greece between 620 and 564 BCE. These tales, featuring talking animals and plants, were part of oral tradition before being collected centuries after Aesop's death. The stories teach moral lessons through simple narratives, addressing religious, social, and political themes. Originally meant for adults, these fables later became central to children's education and continue to be reinterpreted across cultures and media worldwide.
