Aesop Milo Winter
Aesop i s p ee sop Ancient Greek , Ais pos, c 620 564 BCE was an Ancient Greek fabulist or story teller credited with a number of fables now collectively known as Aesop s Fables Although his existence remains uncertain and if they ever existed no writings by him survive, numerous tales credited to him were gathered across the centuries and in many languages in a storytelling tradition that continues to this day Many of the tales are characterized by animals and inanimate objects that speak, solve problems, and generally have human characteristics.Scattered details of Aesop s life can be found in ancient sources, including Aristotle, Herodotus, and Plutarch An ancient literary work called The Aesop Romance tells an episodic, probably highly fictional version of his life, including the traditional description of him as a strikingly ugly slave who by his cleverness acquires freedom and becomes an adviser to kings and city states Older spellings of his name have included Esop e and Isope A later tradition dating from the Middle Ages depicts Aesop as a black Ethiopian Depictions of Aesop in popular culture over the last 2500 years have included several works of art and his appearance as a character in numerous books, films, plays, and television programs.Abandoning the perennial image of Aesop as an ugly slave, the movie Night in Paradise 1946 cast Turhan Bey in the role, depicting Aesop as an advisor to King Croesus who falls in love with the king s intended bride, a Persian princess played by Merle Oberon There was also the 1953 teleplay Aesop and Rhodope by Helene Hanff, broadcast on Hallmark Hall of Fame with Lamont Johnson playing Aesop.A raposa e as uvas The Fox and the Grapes , a play in three acts about the life of Aesop by Brazilian dramatist Guilherme Figueiredo, was published in 1953 and has been performed in many countries, including a videotaped production in China in 2000 under the title Hu li yu pu tao or .Beginning in 1959, animated shorts under the title Aesop and Son appeared as a recurring segment in the TV series Rocky and His Friends and its successor, The Bullwinkle Show The image of Aesop as ugly slave was abandoned Aesop voiced by Charles Ruggles , a Greek citizen, would recount a fable for the edification of his son, Aesop Jr who would then deliver the moral in the form of an atrocious pun Aesop s 1998 appearance in the episode Hercules and the Kids in the animated TV series Hercules voiced by Robert Keeshan amounted to little than a cameo.In 1971, Bill Cosby played Aesop in the TV production Aesop s Fables.The musical Aesop s Fables by British playwright Peter Terson was first produced in 1983 In 2010, the play was staged at the Fugard Theatre in Cape Town, South Africa with Mhlekahi Mosiea as Aesop.
