Synopsis
11-year-old actor Eden Giuliano presents a brand new line of exciting children’s stories from Icon!Remember the story of the Ant and the Grasshopper? the Fox and the Sour Grapes? The Boy who Cried Wolf? These wonderful tales and hundreds more have been passed down to us over the centuries. The man credited with writing them, Aesop, was an Ancient Greek slave born about 620 B.C. Aesop is known as a fabulist or story teller credited with a number of fables shining glaringly true light on our human foibles now collectively known as Aesop's Fables. Although no writings by him survive, numerous tales credited to him were gathered across the centuries and in many languages in a storytelling tradition that continues to this day. Many of the tales are characterized by animals and inanimate objects that speak, solve problems, and generally have human characteristics. Scattered details of Aesop's life can be found in ancient sources, including Aristotle, Herodotus, and Plutarch. An ancient literary work called The Aesop Romance tells an episodic, probably highly fictional version of his life, including the traditional description of him as a strikingly ugly slave who by his cleverness acquires freedom and becomes an adviser to kings and city-states. A later tradition depicts Aesop as a black Ethiopian. But whatever his history, the fables depict truths about human behavior, our strengths and weakness that have remained true for 2500 years.We know you will enjoy this very special series from Icon Audio Arts hosted by young Eden Giuliano!Series Host Eden GiulianoSeries producer Avalon Giuliano in New YorkProduced by Alex Franchi in Milan and Geoffrey Giuliano in DelhiEdited and mixed by Macc Kay in BangkokSpecial thanks to Brandon Stickney and Sanjay KhemaniDEDICATED TO VRNDA DEVI?Music by AudioNautix©2019 Icon Audio Arts (P)2019 Icon Audio Arts
