THE DOGS AND THE HIDES Milo Winter (1919) Some hungry Dogs saw a number of hides at the bottom of a stream where the Tanner had put them to soak. A fine hide makes an excellent meal for a hungry Dog, but the water was deep and the Dogs could not reach the hides from the bank. So they held a council and decided that the very best thing to do was to drink up theriver.

Three bulls for a long time pastured together. A Lion lay in ambush in the hope of making them his prey, but was afraid to attack them while they kept together. Having at last by guileful speeches succeeded in separating them, he attacked them without fear as they fed alone, and feasted on them one by one at his own leisure. THE FAWN AND HIS MOTHER The Fawn and His Mother. A Fawn questioned larger deer about why they flee a Dog when they are so much bigger. Nobody could answer; it was just in their nature the Fawn was told. A coward by nature will always be a coward. A young Fawn was curious about why adult deer feared hounds. He asked his Mother: “You are larger, faster, and have horns THE OLD MAN AND DEATH An old man that had travell’d a great way under a huge burden of sticks, found himself so weary, that he cast it down, and call’d upon Death to deliver him from a more miserable life. Death came presently at his call, and asked him his bus’ness. Pray good sir,says he,
THE GNAT AND THE BULL Milo Winter (1919) A Gnat flew over the meadow with much buzzing for so small a creature and settled on the tip of one of the horns of a Bull. After he had rested a short time, he made ready to fly away. But before he left he begged the Bull’s pardon for having used his horn for a resting place. “You must be very glad to have me go nowJUPITER AND FRAUD
Jupiter appointed Mercury to make him a composition of fraud and hypocrisie, and to give every artifices his dose on’t. The medicine was prepar’d according to the bill, and the proportions duly observ’d, and divided: only there was a great deal too much of it made, and the overplus remain’d still in the morter.

THE ANT AND THE CHRYSALIS An Ant nimbly running about in the sunshine in search of food, came across a Chrysalis that was very near its time of changing. The Chrysalis moved its tail, and thus attracted the attention of the Ant, who then saw for the first time that it was alive. THE EAGLE AND THE BEETLE Milo Winter (1919) A Beetle once begged the Eagle to spare a Hare which had run to her for protection. But the Eagle pounced upon her prey, the sweep of her great wings tumbling the Beetle a dozen feet away. Furious at the disrespect shown her, the Beetle flew to the Eagle’s nest and rolled out the eggs. Not one did she spare.THE OLD HOUND
An Old Hound, who had hunted well in his time, once seized a Stag , but from feebleness and the loss of his teeth was forced to let him go. The master coming up began to beat the Old Dog cruelly, but left off when the poor animal addressed him as follows: “Hold, dear master! You know well that neither my courage nor my will was atfault, but

THE FARMER AND THE STORK A farmer placed nets on his newly-sown plowlands and caught a number of Cranes, which came to pick up his seed. With them he trapped a Stork that had fractured his leg in the net and was earnestly beseeching the Farmer to spare his life. “Pray save me, Master,” he said, “and let me go free this once. My broken limb should exciteyour pity.

THE BELLY AND THE MEMBERS IN former days, When the Belly and the other parts of the body enjoyed the faculty of speech, and had separate views and designs of their own; each part, it seems, in particular, for himself, and in the name of the whole, took exception at the conduct of the Belly, and were resolved to grant him supplies no longer. THE FAWN AND HIS MOTHER The Fawn and His Mother. A Fawn questioned larger deer about why they flee a Dog when they are so much bigger. Nobody could answer; it was just in their nature the Fawn was told. A coward by nature will always be a coward. A young Fawn was curious about why adult deer feared hounds. He asked his Mother: “You are larger, faster, and have horns THE HERDSMAN AND THE LOST BULL Townsend version. A herdsman tending his flock in a forest lost a Bull-calf from the fold. After a long and fruitless search, he made a vow that, if he could only discover the thief who had stolen the Calf, he would offer a lamb in sacrifice to Hermes, Pan, and the Guardian Deities of the forest. A NIGHTINGALE AND A BAT L’Estrange version. As a nightingale was singing in a cage at a window, up comes a bat to her, and asks her why she did not sing in the day, as well as in the night. Why (says the nightingale) I was catch’d singing in the day, and so I took it for a warning. You should have thought of this then, says t’other, before you weretaken; for as
THE OLD MAN AND DEATH A POOR feeble old Man, who had crawled out into a neighbouring wood to gather a few sticks, had made up his bundle, and laying it over his shoulders, was trudging homeward with it; but, what with age, and the length of the way, and the weight of his burden, he grew so faint and weak, that he sunk under it; and, as he sat on the ground, called upon Death to come, once for all, and ease him of THE PARROT - FABLES OF AESOP Whilst they were exercising their talkative talents before him, one repeating the cries of the town, another asking for a cup of sack, and a third bawling for a coach, he observed a green Parrot perched in a thoughtful manner at a distance upon the foot of a table. “And so you, my grave gentleman,” said he, “are quite silent.”. To which THE RAT AND THE ELEPHANT It was the King and his retinue. The King rode on a huge Elephant adorned with the most gorgeous trappings. With the King in his luxurious howdah were the royal Dog and Cat. A great crowd of people followed the procession. They were so taken up with admiration of the Elephant, that the Rat was not noticed. His pride was hurt.JUPITER AND FRAUD

Fables of Aesop
A complete collection of Aesop's FablesMenu

* Terms and Conditions AESOP’S FABLES HOME PAGE Throughout history fables have been a popular method of giving instruction. Fables contain a short narrative that seeks to illustrate a hidden message. Generally, fables use animals or objects as part of the narrative yet the message is designed to apply to humans. By doing this, the fabulist is not perceived as the teacher and this reduces any bias the listeners might have against the person. The most famous fabulist would be Aesop who most date around 620 B.C. Many fables are attributed to Aesop, but it’s unclear how many he actually wrote; indeed, his historical existence as a person is under question. I’ve collected many of them here for your enjoyment. A number of translations were found and the fables collected. Several different translations and interpretations of the same fable may be found on many of the pages here; including, now and again, a simplified versionI wrote.
The collection here is being added to as new sources are uncovered. But, if you are in a hurry and want to see what is likely one of the better print books containing modern translations of some 600 original Greek and Latin versions, then see the book _AESOP’S FABLES BY LAURAGIBBS, TRANSLATOR
_.
Latin versions collected by Laura Gibbs are also included with some fables here. They come from the public domain section of her book _MILLE FABULAE ET UNA: 1001 AESOP’S FABLES IN LATIN_. (Some fables may have multiple Latin versions due to various indexing systems andtranslations.)
In addition to the text versions of the fables, materials from several visual versions have been incorporated into the presentation here. As one example, some of the more classic fables were, in 1887, put into verse and printed along with dramatic illustrations. Those versions are presented as “Crane Poetry Visual” summaries with the image shown at the right. Both the visual and poetic text are included on the fable pages. The specific book these came from is: _THE BABY’S OWN AESOP_ by Walter Crane and engraved and printed in colors by Edmund Evans; it was published by George Routledge & Sons in London and New York, 1887. You can see a copy of the book at the Library ofCongress .
A series of 100 longer adapted fables have also been added from an 1828 book by James Northcote, R.A. called _ONE HUNDRED FABLES, ORIGINAL AND SELECTED_. Wood engravings embellish these fables. The fables are expanded with much more text than a simple translation and several have annotations at the end that describe how the fable applies to modern (1828) times. Some of these notations are longer than the fable. Search for this book on Google Books.
An illustrated book titled _SOME OF AESOP’S FABLES WITH MODERN INSTANCES SHEWN IN DESIGNS_ by Alfred and Randolph Caldecott has been added. There are only 20 fables in this book but it is well illustrated. The book may be found in the Project Gutenberg archivesamong other places.
A few fables have been added from the 1819 French book _FABLES DE LA FONTAINE_. Only those fables with illustrations are included here and they are in the original French. I’ve included them more for the illustrations than the French translation. You can see the whole book at the Internet Archive.
C.
Whittingham (1814)
New fable versions have been added from the 1811 book _AESOP AND OTHERS: TRANSLATED WITH INSTRUCTIVE APPLICATIONS: AND A PRINT BEFORE EACH FABLE_ by Samuel Croxall, D.D., late Archdeacon of Hereford. Fables on this site come from the nineteenth edition of the book. The original edition was published in 1722. You can see the whole book at the Internet Archive. Additional
artwork associated with the Croxall collection of fables is being added from the 1814 book _AESOP’S FABLES EMBELLISHED WITH ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN EMBLEMATICAL DEVICES_ by C. Whittingham. Fables from THE FABLES OF AESOP, AND OTHERS, WITH DESIGNS ON WOOD by Thomas Bewick are being added. These are a series of fables similar to Croxall’s in style and sometimes using the same or similar language. I am also trying an experiment in colorizing the woodcuts to better show the subjects of the fable which can otherwise sometimes get lost in the illustration. Illustrations and some Google-translated text from the 1477 Heinrich Steinhöwel AESOPUS collection of the fables are being added to select fables. Since I don’t speak or understand Middle Age German, these may be incorrect but links to the original page will be there for those who do. Some illustrations in the original I found were damaged; substitutes from other sources are used for those. All illustrations have been heavily edited. The book starts with a fairly standard Lifeof Aesop
.
A summary of books I’ve found and used is on this page.

Introduction
HOW TO NAVIGATE THE FABLES If you know the name of the fable you can use the search box to look for it; partial names work as well in the search. Remember that the animals in the fables may have names that may not be familiar to you. An example would be “daw” which is a European crow. (If the word has a dotted underline under it like you should see under daw, hover over the word and a definition should appear. Only the first use in the fable will be so marked.) The second method would be to use the tag cloud. Each fable has been tagged with the animals in it so the tag listings show fables with the tagged animal in them. In addition, each fable has its moral in the listing so you can search by the moral as well. Finally, illustrations are usually presented as smaller images on the fable pages. Click on any image you are interested in and if a larger version is available it should open in a light box (please see the Terms and Conditions page for use of images and text from this site).Enjoy.

A NOTE ON FONTS
Most older texts used ligatures throughout so instead of Aesop, you might see Æsop. Other combinations might include an “o” and “e” as œ or “a” and “e” as æ. For the purposes of readability and ability to search, all ligatures on FablesOfAesop have been turned into their separate letters. We hope you don’t mind this little historical inaccuracy.PRIMARY SIDEBAR
