Ęsop, a Greek slave, was probably born about 620

 B.C.E. in the ancient Asian country of Phrygia. Although

 Ęsop had no formal education, he knew a great deal

 about human behavior. He became well known for his

 ability to weave wonderful tales about animals who spoke

 and acted just like people.
