Fables of Phaedrus

Fables of Phaedrus, written in the 1st century AD by the Roman fabulist Phaedrus, is a collection of moral tales that often feature animals but also include narratives about human characters. Phaedrus is notable for being the most significant Latin fabulist, and his work represents an innovative approach to the fable genre, blending elements of short stories with traditional fables. This edition includes a translation into English prose by Henry Thomas Ridley, presenting five books attributed to Phaedrus, which have been recognized by scholars as authentically his.
