Abstract:

Abstract Erasmus was a fluent Aesopian. In books and letters he cited Aesop’s fables to explain, admonish, and insult. The Adagiorum Chiliades alludes to more than seventy different fables, including two adages about Aesop: “Ne Aesopum quidem trivisti” (2.6.27); and “Aesopicus sanguis” (2.6.63). The great adage “Scarabeus aquilam quaerit” (3.7.1) begins with Aesop’s fable. Erasmus’ own contributions to collections of fables were printed in Antwerp, Basel, Louvain, Strasbourg, Paris, and Venice. This paper examines Erasmus’ use of Aesop, identifies the fables Erasmus favored, and places his ver

Abstract:

Abstract This paper aims, in general, at drawing attention to the many fables not included in fable collections. It focuses, more particularly, on the fables which can be found throughout Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic Greek literature, predating the extant ancient fable collections. Some of these stray fables are unique, others significantly vary well-known themes; all of them show that the genre is a flexible form, which can be adapted to widely divergent literary and social contexts. In this article the intrinsic interest and functional richness of the "non-collection" fable tradition

Abstract:

The article reviews how Aesopian literature’s legacy – "Fancy" and didactics of "Wisdom" were assimilated by world-famous fabulists. The main motive for Aesop is the dominance of a "sophisticated mind" over physical beauty. Aesop, who was of lowly origin homo de plebe and was strikingly ugly, had an outstanding mental potential. Herodotus’ Histories contain biographical facts about the fabulist; Aristophanes considers unknowing of his fables unacceptable; Wise Socrates was said to rhyme Aesop’s fables to entertain himself while imprisoned. Aesop’s social status led to him using allegory and cr

Aesop in the Ottoman Literature of the 19th century The study based on the Karamanlidika version of Aesop’s fables printed by Evangelinos Misailidis in 1854 offers a review of the Ottoman perception of Aesop in the 19th century. The Turkish versions of the fables released in various alphabets (Cyrillic, Arabic), and the Vita of Aesop, are presented and explored. The study also discusses the Turkish manuscript written in Greek characters, located by Ernst Otto Blau in Mariupol, today in southern Ukraine.

Abstract:

Aesop's Fables is an enduring collection of short stories with morals that is credited to Aesop, a slave who lived in early Ancient Greece about 2600 years ago. Undoubtedly many later ancient Greek philosophers such as Pythagoras, Socrates, Aristotle and Archimedes were told Aesop's fables in their youth. In a race described in ‘The Tortoise and the Hare’, one of the most famous of Aesop's fables, a tortoise, running in a steady constant manner, beats a hare that is racing irregularly. The lesson of the fable is often interpreted as ‘slow but steady wins the race’ or ‘consistent, effective eff

Ancient fable is one of the most notable phenomena of European literature. Many monuments of this genre are distinguished by high artistic skill and have not lost their aesthetic value to these days. Short stories with a moral component, the protagonists of which were the representatives of animate or inanimate nature, were known in ancient times. Aesop is considered the founder of fable’s genre, according to the legend he first made them in literary processing.

No commentator has ever observed that Jesus' expression occurs verbatim, in the same iambic trimeter metre, in two poetic versions of animal fables attributed to the famous Greek fabulist Aesop. It is plausible that Luke is here, as at least twice elsewhere in his gospel, tapping into the rich tradition of Aesop

AbstractRecent scholarship has entertained the possibility that Jotham’s Parable of the Trees (Judg 9:8-15) is derived from the Greek text of one of Aesop’s Fables (Perry 262). This article refutes this notion, tracing the dependence of Aesop’s fable on one Septuagint tradition, which itself is a translation of the Hebrew. The article goes on to propose a pre-exilic setting for the biblical fable, based not on its foregrounded opinion of monarchy, but on its background assumptions of deity.

Blumenberg’s simultaneous writings on anecdotes are thus reframed as a testing ground and subsequent application of a philosophy of fabulistic storytelling. The systematic reach of this fabulistic turn is exhibited by tracing a set of concepts—pensiveness (Nachdenklichkeit), nonunderstanding (Unverstand), and disturbance (Störung)—that Blumenberg coined to def

Analysis of both internal and external evidence commends understanding the fables to reflect Luke due to its well-known status, but none of the arguments are definitive.

La Fontaine tries on the costume and does his best to play the part, composing his role from the illustrious examples of Socrates — a fabulist in extremis — and eventually a crafty Aesop, only to show us little by little that he is

Abstract:

Purpose Critical thinking pervades formal educational benchmarks in the United States, including the Common Core State Standards. However, little information is available on how it develops. Hence, the primary purpose of this study was to examine the development of critical thinking in adolescents using a written language-sampling task. We also examined related aspects of development: verbal productivity, syntactic complexity, and metacognitive verb use. Method The participants included two groups of adolescents, aged 13 and 16 years ( n = 40 per group). All testing took place in classrooms at

AbstractThe Life of Aesop is an entertaining yet profound account of Aesop's life dating from the first to second centuries ad. Although it is widely agreed that the Life of Aesop may be read as a ‘metafable’, there has been, in my view, a widespread and perversely negative interpretation of the supposed moral of this life story: that ‘pride comes before a fall’. This supposed moral is not borne out by the ending, in which Aesop's prophecies of doom prove to be correct, the Delphians are thrice punished for executing Aesop, and Aesop himself achieves everlasting fame as a storyteller.

Medieval heresies, posing a threat and competition for the official Church mobilized it to counter-attack, which was reflected in the animal symbolism both in literature and in the visual arts. In the period from the 9th to the 16th century, heretics were most often symbolized by wolves (the phenomenon of heresy itself was also represented in the form of a wolf, whose hellish origins were to be seen in the flames surrounding it) and foxes. Both served also as symbols of Satan himself. They owed their anti-heretical meaning to the exegesis of biblical verses and comparisons taken from literatur
