About This Item
1609 Aesop's Fables Greek Mythology AESOP Planudes Homer Batrachomyomachia Latin
"A doubtful friend is worse than a certain enemy. Let a man be one thing or the other, and we then know how to meet him."
― Aesop, Aesop's Fables
Aesop's fables have been printed for centuries and include some of the most famous fables and tales of all time. Originating sometime in the 6th- to 7th-century BC, these tales have appeared in popular culture for well over 2000 years in the form of books, plays, songs, and visual media.
This incredible early 17th-century printing of Aesop's fables features several additional works including:
· A 'life of Aesop' by 13th-century Byzantine monk Maximus Planudes
· Galeomyomachia by Theodorus Prodromus
· Batrachomyomachia, attributed to Homer
