Fabulae / Phaedrus

"Fabulae" is a collection of fables written in Latin by Phaedrus, a 1st-century AD Roman fabulist. These fables are largely based on the earlier Greek fables of Aesop, but Phaedrus adapted them and presented them in Latin verse. His work is significant for its clear and concise style, as well as its moral lessons conveyed through animal characters and human interactions. The fables often reflect social and political commentary relevant to Roman society during Phaedrus's time.

The collection offers insights into the cultural values and ethical teachings of the classical world. "Fabulae" remains relevant for students of Latin, those interested in classical literature, and anyone who appreciates the timeless wisdom found in simple yet profound stories.
