Who was Aesop?

What's amazing is that while he was a slave he still was one of the best influential storytellers of all time. I truly admire the man.

Just goes to show you that having confidence in oneself will ensure your freedom. how sounds like an amazing fella. imagine sitting down at the pub and listening to him whilst having a drink

my dad always qoutes aesops fables but i really didnt know much about him before this. thanks for sharing :)

I admire your very simple yet compacted information. :thanksdoc:

"We wuz Æsop n shit."

A fascinating story well told. What we at Æsop's Teachings find particularly interesting is the idea that the fables might originate from ancient Mesopotamia or even before, thus spanning many millenia of oral tradition.

@BABA THE STORY TELLER thank you for your teachings master , with information , knowledge , intellect, respect, gives the mind power

Great video. I've been interested in Aesop's fables for a long time

Great story, thanks

1:28 I can't help but think of a classical Neo style character when I think of Aesop. I also can't also help but think of Patrick Henry. "Give me liberty, or give me death"

Absolutely brilliant narration!!

Long after the original aesop passed, more tales were told. Only written in greek and latin hundreds of years later. A period of around 500 years collects the bulk of these works. Possibly three or four authors, scribes, monks could have attributed to the collating of the main corpus. Marcus Manilius, who wrote the Astronomica, amongst other astrological, mathmatical and poetic works. Was also a monk who could translate greek, latin. He has been thought to be the last modern Aesop. He lived around the first century.

very entertaining ❤

Thanks for sharing.

This is going to help for my English Literary Project. Thank you!

My last name is actually Aesop..I learnt most of the stories of him but I never knew that Aesop means Ethiop that is something I learnt..thank you so much about the video

Can't say how likely it is that the medieval scholar accurately described a guy who'd been dead for 15 centuries.

Hello 👋 Aesop was an amazing man
