Aesop
For other uses, see
Aesop (disambiguation).Aesop (also spelled Æsop, from the
Greek —Aisōpos), known only for the genre of
fables ascribed to him, was by tradition a
slave (δούλος) who was a contemporary of
Croesus and
Peisistratus 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. Most of what are known as Aesopic fables is a compilation of tales from various sources, many of which originated with authors who lived long before Aesop. Aesop himself is said to have composed many fables, which were passed down by oral tradition. Socrates was thought to have spent his time turning Aesop’s fables into verse while he was in prison. Demetrius Phalereus, another Greek philosopher, made the first collection of these fables around
300 BC. This was later translated into
Latin by
Phaedrus, a slave himself, around
25 BC. The fables from these two collections were soon brought together and were eventually retranslated into Greek by Babrius around A.D. 230. Many additional fables were included, and the collection was in turn translated to Arabic and Hebrew, further enriched by additional fables from these cultures.

Ezop
Ezop (
gr. Aisopos) – grecki
bajkopisarz pochodzący z Mistra w Azji Mniejszej. Przyjmuje się, że żył w
VI wieku p.n.e., według tradycji był
niewolnikiem Jadmosa z Samos. Postać na wpół legendarna, o której życiu i twórczości mało wiadomo. Daty jego urodzin i śmierci nie są znane. Uważany jest za twórcę
bajki zwierzęcej, czyli takiej, w której bohaterami są zwierzęta, oraz moralizującej i satyrycznej. Z początku bajki nie były uznawane za typowe utwory dla dzieci, lecz dla dorosłych. W swoich bajkach wyśmiewał ludzi, ukazując ich pod postaciami zwierząt. Z pozoru zabawne, bajki Ezopa zawierały gorzką prawdę i głęboką mądrość. Nie dochował się oryginalny zbiór jego utworów ani ich adaptacja dokonana przez
Demetriusza z Faleronu (IV/III w. p.n.e.). Znane są przede wszystkim z przeróbek wierszowanych
Fedrusa i
Babriosa.

Esopo
Importanza Esopo visse nel
VI secolo a.C., nell'epoca di
Creso e
Pisistrato. La sua opera (da cui trasse ispirazione anche l'altro grande scrittore di favole dell'antichità,
Fedro) ebbe una grandissima influenza sulla cultura occidentale: le sue favole sono tutt'oggi estremamente popolari e note. Della sua vita si conosce pochissimo, e alcuni studiosi hanno persino messo in dubbio che il corpus di favole che gli viene attribuito sia opera di un unico autore.
