Who wrote them?

No one actually knows the correct story, but here is some history. Herodotus, the Greek writer reported that Aesop was a slave who lived in Samos in 6th Century B.C. It is also supposed that Aesop never actually wrote the tales down. Some attribute Socrates with putting the old Aesops Fables into verse.

Many versions in various languages have been reported.

They were translated into Latin, Syriac, and back into Greek. Somehow we have these marvelous fables in our world today, and in many languages.

Tortoise And The Hare

The Tortoise and the Hare is one of my favorites and it sums up the idea that a plodder wins the race. It shows us that being persistent is the most important quality -don't lose your focus and don't let your ego dictate to you. I know this to be true - just learned it!

The Milkmaid And Her Pail

This is also a good one.

All of these stories are about success in life, and they certainly apply to any creative endeavour you might pursue.




The Ant And The Grasshopper

A great story about the work ethic.
