Schrijvers. 330 $aEthics in Aesop?s Fables: the Augustana Collection offers an original and innovative analysis of the Greek fable in the framework of Greek ethical thinking. The book starts with a brief account of the history and genre of the Greek fable. It then focuses on the Augustana collection of prose fables and analyses its ethical content in the larger context of Greek thought. A detailed comparison of Greek ethical thinking with the language of the fables shows the persistence of certain types of ethical reasoning and of certain key ethical norms. The author argues that although the fable was not 'philosophy', it was indeed 'philosophical' because it communicated normative messages about human behaviour, which reflected widespread views in Greek ethical thought. This book is of special interest to both students and scholars of Greek fable and of Greek philosophy. 410 0$aMnemosyne, Supplements$v216. 606 $aFables, Greek$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEthics, Ancient, in literature 615 0$aFables, Greek$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEthics, Ancient, in literature. 676 $a398.2452 700 $aZafiropoulos$b Christos A.$0530709 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996237746603316 996 $aEthics in Aesop's fables$91247483 997 $aUNISA
