Description
Aesop was one of the few ancient storytellers who had the clarity to collect one of the largest collections of fables from Ancient Greek folklore under a single work. Aesop’s Fables became famous for their powerful wisdom and knowledge regarding topics such as family, friendship and betrayal, vanity, fairness and correct thinking. Philosophers, scholars and authors from throughout the past 2000 years have often used Aesop’s Fables to get inspired and find many of the answers they have sought as part of their work and passion.The 9th volume of Aesop’s Fables includes fables #201 to 225, featuring titles such as The Ant, The Lion, Jupiter and the Elephant or The Wolf and the Horse. As in earlier volumes, each of the stories offers a unique perspective on life based on its particular characters and the lessons that their adventures and actions aim to convey.You will always be set face to face with deep, meaningful lessons as is the case in the story entitled The Bee-keeper, where bees mistake their faithful keeper for the thief who stole their honey. The moral clearly stated in the story is to never judge too rashly when looking for justice.Although the stories included in this volume, as well as all the other volumes of Aesop’s 284-fable collection, were initially written to convey important life lessons to both children and adults during ancient times, their morals are still very helpful today. Through simple stories about snakes, dogs, gardeners or rivers, Aesop’s Fables elegantly portray examples that can easily be adapted to modern day problems such as resolving family issues or finding common ground when life seems to push you toward condemning someone for their seeming actions.
