Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of 29 fables originally written by Aesop, a storyteller believed to have lived in ancient Greece around 600 BC. Originally passed down orally, these fables were later written down by various authors, including Phaedrus, a Roman slave who lived in the 1st century AD. Phaedrus's version of the fables often carries a moral or life lesson. For example, âThe Dog and the Shadowâ teaches the lesson that it is better to have little that is certain than to risk losing everything in pursuit of more. The fables in this book have been translated into Latin and are accompanied by vocabulary and notes to help the reader understand the text.
