Aesop, Greek Author and Fabulist. No act of kindness no matter how small is ever wasted. Tank Top

Aesop was a Greek fabulist and storyteller credited with a number of fables now collectively known as Aesop's Fables. Scattered details of Aesop's life can be found in ancient sources, including Aristotle, Herodotus, and Plutarch. An ancient literary work called The Aesop Romance tells an episodic, probably highly fictional version of his life, including the traditional description of him as a strikingly ugly slave who by his cleverness acquires freedom and becomes an adviser to kings and city-states. Older spellings of his name have included Esop(e) and Isope. Depictions of Aesop in popular culture have included many works of art and his appearance as a character in numerous books, films, plays, and television programs. (Wikipedia)
