Sold by Mighty Ape
A translation of the complete Aesopian corpus of fables. The introduction pays particular attention to the transmission of fable “stock” from sanscrit to Aesop. It also attends to the precise nature of the animals themselves who appear in these fables, and tries to rescue the fables both from a tradition of moralistic interpretation and from the academic perception of the genre as an exclusively populist one.
