Aesop was respected by others. Which of the following details supports this idea?
Although nobody knows for certain, the death of Aesop is sometimes said to
have been a punishment for stealing a gold or silver cup.
In his public speeches on ethics and morals to the common people, he
sometimes spoke out against the strict power structure of his time. For example,
one of his fables, "The Frogs Asking for a King," is Aesop's attempt to convince
the people not to overthrow their leader.
Aesop was born into slavery, and is shown in some sculptures and paintings with
physical deformities.
His name comes from the archaic, ancient Greek word "Ethiop," which means "a
person of African descent."
