The author credited with the fable The Tortoise & The Hare was what kind of ethnicity?
Aesop Aesop ( ; Ancient Greek: Αἴσωπος , "Aisōpos "; c. 620 – 564 BCE) was a Greek fabulist and story teller credited with a number of fables now collectively known as "Aesop's Fables". Although his existence remains unclear and no writings by him survive, numerous tales credited to him were gathered across the centuries and in many languages in a storytelling tradition that continues to this day. Many of the tales are characterized by animals and inanimate objects that speak, solve problems, and generally have human characteristics.
Mythomoteur A mythomoteur (compound of the French words for myth and engine) is the constitutive myth that gives an ethnic group its sense of purpose. The term was first used in this context by Ramon d’Abadal i de Vinyals, and was later taken up by John Armstrong in his book "Nations before Nationalism". It has subsequently become a common theme in Anthony D. Smith’s work on ethnicity and nationalism, particularly his book "The Ethnic Origins of Nations". Three types of mythomoteur have been identified, the communal-political, the communal-religious, and the dynastic.
