Misplaced Confidence - an Aesop Fable
read by David Shaw-Parker
Aesop (also spelled Æsop; from the Greek Αισωπος, Aisopos), known only for his fables, was by tradition a slave who lived from about 620 to 560 BC in Ancient Greece. Aesop's Fables are still taught as moral lessons and used as subjects for various entertainments, especially children's plays and cartoons. According to tradition he was at one point freed from slavery and eventually died at the hands of Delphians, but nothing is known about Aesop from credible records. In fact, the obscurity shrouding his life has led some scholars to doubt his existence altogether.
