what the full name of aesop?

Question

poet writer of aesop fables

Answer 1

It isn't recorded.......and Aesop may not even be his real name.

Though the real Aesop is obscure and inaccessible, we still
have an ancient account of him in a Life of Aesop
which bears, in its earliest version, the title The Book
of Xanthus the Philosopher and His Slave Aesop. According
to this Life, Aesop was born an ugly mute slave, but
was granted the power to speak and craft fables in return for
his generosity to one of the attendants of the goddess Isis.
Having gained a knack for logoi, he engineered his way to
Samos, where he became the slave of a philosopher called
Xanthus. In the course of recounting Aesop's life with
Xanthus, the Life implicates Aesop in a series of
wild adventures, witty fables and obscene episodes which
demonstrate, above all else, that he can outwit and
out-philosophise the philosopher who owns him.

Answer 4

We tend to only know classical characters by one name ... Plato, Hippocrates etc. they might have been known by their place of origin too but they've come to us with only one name.

Even in this day and age, there are many methods of naming someone. In the middle east for instance a woman's surname changes when she has a son, she gains his name.
