《伊索寓言》是全世界第一本寓言故事集，收录了古希腊最会讲故事的人——伊索的那些充满哲理又广为流传的故事。伊索原为哑巴，后奇迹般地获得了语言能力，并摆脱奴隶身份重获自由。他以能言善辩著称，并积极参与公共事务。在其死后，人们为了纪念他的智慧和留下的宝贵文化财富，将当时的许多寓言都汇入伊索的故事结集，成为《伊索寓言》。《伊索寓言》创造了一个神奇的动物世界，里面的动物不仅能说会道，还有着与人一样的烦恼、愚蠢以及大彻大悟，可以说是现实社会的微观缩影。伊索在这个动物世界中想要表达和讽喻的恰恰是人类社会中人性的现实功利、贪婪、妒忌，同时也歌颂忠诚、吃苦耐劳、坚持等美德。因此，不仅是儿童，成人也能从中体悟到人生的哲思。《伊索寓言》也教会我们如何与这样一个复杂的世界相处，如何为人处世，对深处现代社会的人们来说，这点似乎尤其重要。不仅如此，《伊索寓言》作为西方文明源头的文化产物，对欧美地区文化产生了深远的影响，更对西方叙述传统起到了根基性作用。

伊索（公元前620-公元前560），公元前6世纪的古希腊寓言家，据历史记载，他原是奴隶主雅德蒙的奴隶，曾被转卖多次，但因智慧出众，知识渊博而被赐为自由忆。成为自由人后，他四处游历，为人们讲述寓言厜，深受古希腊人民的喜爱，被后世誉为“希腊寓言之父”、“西方寓言的开山鼻祖”。
