Пж очень надобно, мне нужна краткая биография о эзопе на английском

Aesop - semi-mythical ancient Greek fabulist who lived in the VI century BC. er He is considered the founder of the fable genre; by its name is an allegorical manner of expression of thoughts, which is used to this day, the Aesop language.

Today it is not known for certain whether such an author actually existed in fables or whether they belonged to different persons, and the image of Aesop is collective. Information about his biography is often controversial and not historically confirmed. For the first time Herodotus mentions Aesop. According to his version, Aesop served as a slave, and his master was a certain Jadmon from the island of Samos, who later granted him freedom. He lived when the Egyptian King Amasis ruled, i.e. in 570-526 BC er He was killed by the Delphi, for which the descendants of Jadmon subsequently received a ransom.

The legend calls Phrygia (Asia Minor) the birthplace of Aesop. According to some reports, Aesop was at the court of King Lydia Croesus. Through the centuries Heraclides of Pontus will assign Aesop an origin from Thrace, and a certain Xanthos will be named as its first owner. At the same time, this information is the authors own conclusions based on Herodotuss data. In Aristophanes' Osach, you can find information about the circumstances of his death, i.e. about the false accusation of theft of property from the Delphi temple and about the fable "About the beetle and eagle" allegedly told by Aesop before his death. After another century, the statements of the characters in the comedy will be perceived as a historical fact. At the end of IV. Comedian Alexidus, whose penned comedy is Aesop, speaks of his involvement with the seven sages, his relationship with King Cres. In Lysippus, who lived at the same time, Aesop is already leading this glorious cohort.
