Phaedrus was een Romeinse fabulist, erkend als de eerste schrijver die complete boeken met fabels in het Latijn bewerkte. Hij vertelde de Griekse prozageschiedenissen van Aesopus opnieuw in jambische metrum, en transformeerde ze tot boeiende verzen. Zijn werk levert een belangrijke bijdrage aan de klassieke literatuur, waarbij het oude fabels bewaart en verrijkt voor het nageslacht.
Babrius s humorous and pointed fables in Greek verse probably date from the first century CE. From the same period come the lively fables in Latin verse written by Phaedrus, which satirize social and political life in Augustan Rome.
