Aesop the Fabulist, sixth century BCE in later report, is the name this site attaches to a figure Herodotus already names as a slave, with origins variously given as Samos, Thrace, or Phrygia, and a death-story at Delphi. No book in his hand survives.
What this site holds is later Greek under his name: μῦθοι in several collections and recensions (Brancatian, Assendelft wax tablets, Theophylact, Aphthonius, Themistius, Syntipas, dodecasyllables, Nicephorus, Dositheus, Libanius), together with Sentences, Proverbs, and an Epigram. Demetrius of Phalerum’s early gathering is lost. Babrius and Phaedrus are later verse. The Greek speaks of μῦθος. It is later Greek attached to a name, not an autograph of the sixth century.
