Who can remember reading Aesop for the first time? These little tales, with their pleasantly sententious morals, have slipped quietly into universal mythology. They are as familiar as nursery t rhymes.Whether Aesop was a Greek slave of the sixth century B.C. or merely a name tacked on to a tradition; whether morality, expediency, or plain entertainment was the intention, the tales ensure their own survival. S. A.
