Aesop's Fables

For Teachers

Aesop's Fables: First, discuss What is a Fable, and Who was Aesop? The fables of Greece were very popular in ancient times as well as now. They were recited in ancient Greece, over two thousand years ago. Aesop wrote many of them down, so people thought they were his. In a way, they were. If Aesop had not collected them, and saved them, and shared them - many of these old fables would have been lost and forgotten. Instead, today, we can enjoy these old fables, just as kids did, in ancient Greece, over two thousand years ago!
