* Aesop was a Greek storyteller and fabulist, known for his fables, short moral tales often featuring animals. He lived around the 6th century BC.
* Homer is traditionally credited with writing The Iliad and The Odyssey, two epic poems that tell stories about the Trojan War and the journey home of Odysseus, respectively. Homer is believed to have lived around the 8th century BC.
While both Aesop and Homer were Greek storytellers, their works are very different in genre and style.
