The Life
of Aesop is shrouded in obscurity. Sardis, Samos,
Mesembria, and Cotiaeum, are all thought to be his place of
birth. Aesop is almost universally considered to have
been born around 620 B.C., and to have been born into
slavery. He was ultimately set free by one of his masters
due to his learning and wit. His desire to learn was intense
and he traveled throughout many countries.
Few facts can be relied on, in reference to Aesop's life.
Much of what once once considered true about his life is now
universally considered to be false. These false ideas
include the notion that Aesop was deformed.
