Aesop was credited with many collections of Greek fables, however his existence is disputed. It is likely that he was a legendary figure created as a pen name for the many authors of fables. Various details about his life have emerged from ancient sources, including Aristotle, Herodotus and Plutarch, which are often contradictory in nature.
