Phaedri Augusti Liberti Fabulae Selectae (Classic Reprint)

Phaedrus
4/5 ( ratings)
Excerpt from Phaedri Augusti Liberti Fabulae Selectae

Various conjectures have been hazarded regarding the probable period of the death of Phaedrus, but all are equally unworthy of reliance. That he lived to an advanced age is manifest, however, from his own statements. The casual hints furnished by his Fables present his character in an amiable light. He had no desire for the acquisition of wealth. The leading aim of his literary labours, was to correct the errors and promote the good-humour of mankind. He was passionately devoted to literature, and fond of the approbation of the discriminating. He bore his confinement with patience and fortitude, and relieved its irksomeness by converse With the Muses.
