Three hundred Aesop’s fables, Literally Translated From the Greek, sentence 45

[6] Many of them again are of later origin, and are to be traced to the monks of the middle ages: and yet this collection, though thus made up of fables both earlier and later than the era of Æsop, rightfully bears his name, because he composed so large a number (all framed in the same mould, and conformed to the same fashion, and stamped with the same lineaments, image, and superscription) as to secure to himself the right to be considered the father of Greek fables, and the founder of this class of writing, which has ever since borne his name, and has secured for him, through all succeeding ages, the position of the first of moralists.

Who acts: 6 Many, Eagle, large number, Æsop · What happens: be, trace, make up, compose, frame, conform · To what, where: collection, large number, all, same fashion, right, Eagle
