Aesop’s Fables are primarily read to children in today’s world, these famous stories, which have stood the test of time, were originally told amongst adults. In episode 18, Dr. Laura Gibbs, retired mythology and folklore professor from the University of Oklahoma, explores Aesop beyond Greece and Rome and guides us through the back and forth of the Aesopic tradition with other storytelling traditions from Africa, India, and the Middle East. She walks us through how the stories from other places became assimilated into the later Aesopic tradition in Europe to what they are today.
