Although his existence remains unclear and no writings by him survive , numerous tales credited to him were gathered across the centuries and in many languages in a storytelling tradition that continues to this day . Many of the tales are characterized by animals and inanimate objects that speak , solve problems , and generally have human characteristics .
Scattered details of Aesop ' s life can be found in ancient sources , including Aristotle , Herodotus , and Plutarch . An ancient literary work called The Aesop Romance tells an episodic , probably highly ctional version of his life , including the traditional description of him as a strikingly ugly slave ( δοῦλος ) who by his cleverness acquires freedom and becomes an adviser to kings and city-states . Older spellings of his name have included Esop ( e ) and Isope . Depictions of Aesop in popular culture over the last 2500 years have included many works of art and his appearance as a character in numerous books , lms , plays , and television programs .
