Life Of Aesop The life and history of Aesop is involved,like that of Homer9 the most famous of Greekpoets,in much obscurity.Sardis,the capital of Lydia;Samos,a Greek island;Mesembria,anancient colony in Thrace;and Cotiaeum,the chief city of a province of Phrygia,contend forthe distinction of being the birthplace of Aesop.Although the honor thus claimed cannot bedefinitely assigned to any one of these places,yet there are a few incidents now generallyaccepted by scholars as established facts,relating to the birth,life,and death of Aesop.He is,by an almost universal consent,allowed to have been born about the year 620 B.C.,and tohave been by birth a slave.He was owned by two masters in succession,both inhabitants ofSamos9 Xanthus and Jadmon,the latter of whom gave him his liberty as a reward for hislearning and wit.One of the privileges of a freedman in the ancient republics of Greece,wasthe permission to take an active interest in public affairs;and Aesop,like the philosophersPhaedo,Menippus,and Epictetus,in later times,raised himself from the indignity of a servilecondition to a position of high renown.In his desire alike to instruct and to be instructed,hetravelled through many countries,and among others came to Sardis,the capital of the famousking of Lydia,the great patron,in that day,of learning and of learned men.He met at the court of Croesus with Solon,Thales,and other sages,and is related so to have pleased his royal master,by the part he took in the conversations held with these philosophers,that he applied to him an expression which has since passed into a proverb,"The Phrygian has spoken better than all." On the invitation of Croesus he fixed his residence at Sardis,and was employed by that monarch in various difficult and delicate affairs of State.In his discharge of these commissions he visited the different petty republics of Greece.At one time he is found in Corinth,and at another in Athens,endeavouring,by the narration of some of his wise fables,to reconcile theinhabitants of those cities to the administration of their respective rulers Periander and Pisistratus.One of these ambassadorial missions,undertaken at the command of Croesus,was the occasion of his death.Having been sent to Delphi with a large sum of gold for distribution among the citizens,he was so provoked at their covetousness that he refused to divide the money,and sent it back to his master.The Delphians,enraged at this treatment,accused him of impiety,and,in spite of his sacred character as ambassador,executed him as a public criminal.This cruel death of Aesop was not unavenged.The citizens of Delphi were visited with a series of calamities,until they made a public reparation of their crime;and9”The bloodof Aesop”became a well-known adage,bearing witness to the truth that deeds of wrong would not pass unpunished.Neither did the great fabulist lack posthumous honors;for a statue was erected to his memory at Athens,the work of Lysippus,one of the most famous of Greek sculptors.Phaedrus thus immortalizes the event: Aesopo ingentem statuam posuere Attici, Servumque collocarunt aeterna in basi: Patere honoris scirent ut cuncti viam; Nec generi tribui sed virtuti gloriam. These few facts are all that can be relied on with any degree of certainty,in reference to the birth,life,and death of Aesop.They were first brought to light,after a patient search and diligent perusal of ancient authors,by a Frenchman,M.Claude Gaspard Bachet de Mezeriac, who declined the honor of being tutor to LouisⅫ of France,from his desire to devote himself exclusively to literature.He published his Life of Aesop,Anno Domini 1632.The later investigations of a host of English and German scholars have added very little to the facts given by M.Mezeriac.The substantial truth of his statements has been confirmed by later criticism and inquiry. ……圖書封面
