As an Editor by profession, I have attempted to restyle the Fables of Aesop to interest the more mature reader . Those selected here show insights and relevance to our lives today, doing so, perhaps, in some cases with a decidedly un-Aesop twist.
The site focuses on "the Nature of the beasts..." And Aesop's beasts reflect with uncomfortable parallels the Nature of Man.
The material represents my personal editing, rewrite, and slant just as each and every translation of Aesop reflects the philosophy of the translator. You will also find brief soapbox comments by your editor regarding each fable.
What is noticeable is that since Aesop's lifetime, nearly 3000 years ago, Man's nature has not changed in the least!
Read, and please enjoy!
