Who is Aesop and what did he look like?His very name, Aesop, may however give us a clue to his country of origin. The name Aesop is derived from the Greek word Aethiop which means Ethiopia! And Aesop was described by Maximus Planudes (c.1260-c.1330), the Byzantine scholar who wrote a biography of Aesop and a prose version of Aesop's fables, as follows "His visage was of black hue". In Aesop's biography Planudes describes Aesop an ugly, deformed dwarf, and the famous marble statue at the Villa Albani in Rome depicts Aesop accordingly.

When were Aesop's famous fables first translated into English?
Aesop's fables were first printed in English by William Caxton in 1484, from his own translation made from the French. Aesop's fables were not believed to have been written as Children's literature and the book of fables were originally used to make thinly disguised social and political criticisms. The similarity to parables or allegories can be seen in most of the short tales in Aesops Book of Fables.

Moral - "Appearances often are deceiving." - Aesop's fables: The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

Moral - "Familiarity breeds contempt." - Aesop's fables: The Fox and the Lion

Moral - "Slow and steady wins the race." - Aesop's fables: The Hare and the Tortoise

Moral - "One person's meat is another's poison." - Aesop's fables: The Ass and the Grasshopper

Moral - "Things are not always what they seem." - Aesop's fables: Bee-Keeper and the Bees

Moral - "Never trust a flatterer."- Aesop's fables: Fox and the Crow

Moral - "Beware the wolf in sheep's clothing." - Aesop's fables: The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

Moral - "Little friends may become great friends." - Aesop's fables: Lion and the Mouse

The Morals, Sayings and Proverbs featured in the Book of Aesop's fables ensure that they still have meaning for us today.
