Thanks Mike.

" Aesop as in Aesop's fables, the Greek story teller. I do not know how
this name is spelled in Portuguese."

Aesop = Esôpo
Fabulas de Esôpo = Aesop fables

It is interesting to relate aesopian language
to "morality" implicit to fables
- that kind of their intrinsic
discourse
that was taken as object of study
by LV in Psychology of Art
