Abstract
This paper examines the fables that are told in Aristophanes' comedies and questions whether there is any evidence that fables are a low-class form of expression. It maintains that fables do not belong to any particular class and that there are other more important shared characteristics among the fable tellers in Wasps, Peace, Birds, Frogs and Lysistrata, most notably their age, cleverness, and likeability as protagonists and comic heroes.
