Esopo, il celebre favolista dell'antica Grecia, con molto acume, ironia e soprattutto talento, compose numerose favole dedicate soprattutto agli animali, con chiari riferimenti ai caratteri e alle abitudini degli esseri umani. Profondo osservatore degli uomini, catalogò sotto forma di favole, i vizi e le virtù dei suoi simili, con obiettività e sagacia. Impossibile non sorridere delle sue osservazioni sulle debolezze degli uomini, che nel suo immaginario, sono impersonati da scimmie, cavalli, muli, corvi, leoni e da tutti gli altri animali conosciuti a quel tempo, e non solo.
