Fablesofaesop.com Website Review

Throughout history fables have been a popular method of giving instruction. Fables contain a short narrative that seeks to illustrate a hidden message. Generally, fables use an*mals or objects as part of the narrative yet the message is designed to apply to humans. By doing this, the fabulist is not perceived as the teacher and this reduces any bias the listeners might have against the person. The most famous fabulist would be Aesop who most date around 620 B.C. Many fables are attributed to Aesop, but it’s unclear how many he actually wrote; indeed, his historical existence as a person is under question. I’ve collected many of them here for your enjoyment. A number of translations were found and the fables collected. Several different translations and interpretations of the same fable may be found on many of the pages here; including, now and again, a simplified version I wrote. if you are in a hurry and want to see what is likely one of the better print books containing modern translations of some 600 original Greek may have multiple Latin versions due to various indexing systems and translations.) In addition to the text versions of the fables, materials from several visual versions have been incorporated into the presentation here. As one example, some of the more clas*ic fables were, in 1887, put into verse and printed along with dramatic illustrations. Those versions printed in colors by Edmund Evans; it was published by George Routledge & Sons in London and New York, 1887. You can see a copy of several have annotations at the end that describe how the fable applies to modern (1828) times. Some of these notations are longer added. There are only 20 fables in this book but it is well illustrated. The book may be found in the Project Gutenberg archives they are in the original French. I’ve included them more for the illustrations than the French translation. You can see the whole book original edition was published in 1722. You can see the whole book at the Internet Archive
