Aesop

While the true lifetime of Aesop has not been confirmed, various historical and archeological artifacts point to him having lived during the periods of 620-560 BCE. Aesop was a Greek slave who was treated brutally for the dark appearance of his skin. Aesop’s stories, which have long survived his life, were not originally his. The fables came from a multitude of sources, all passed down orally and safeguarded by Aesop himself. Many of Aesop’s anthropomorphic tales have become celebrated children’s bedtime stories, rightly securing themselves in the modern storytelling canon.
