Of diverse origins, the stories associated with Aesop's name have descended to modern times through a number of sources. They continue to be reinterpreted in different verbal registers and in popular as well as artistic media.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen and how the fables arrived in and travelled from ancient Greece remains uncertain. Some cannot be dated any earlier than Babrius and Phaedrus, several centuries after Aesop, and yet others even later. The earliest mentioned collection was by Demetrius of Phalerum, an Athenian orator and statesman of the 4th century BCE, who compiled the fables into a set of ten books for the use of orators. A follower of Aristotle, he simply catalogued all the fables that earlier Greek writers had used in isolation as exempla, putting them into prose. At least it was evidence of what was attributed to Aesop by others; but this may have included any ascription to him from the oral tradition in the way of animal fables, fictitious anecdotes, etiological or satirical myths, possibly even any proverb or joke, that these writers transmitted. It is more a proof of the power of Aesop's name to attract such stories to it than evidence of his actual authorship. In any case, although the work of Demetrius was mentioned frequently for the next twelve centuries, and was considered the official Aesop, no copy now survives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncludes;\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Wolf and the Kid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Tortoise and the Ducks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Young Crab and His Mother\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Frogs and the Ox\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Dog, the Cock, and the Fox\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBelling the Cat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Eagle and the Jackdaw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Boy and the Filberts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHercules and the Wagoner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Kid and the Wolf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Town Mouse and the Country Mouse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Fox and the Grapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Bundle of Sticks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Wolf and the Crane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlus Many More.......\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 110\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.23 x 10 x 7.01 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 05, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53196986024243,"sku":"9781523260065","price":21.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/emaxu2sgCP9781523260065.webp?v=1775210043","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-aesop-for-children-fables-for-children-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
