We've been reading aesop's fables seeing as how it's recommended reading for Year 1 over at AmbleSide. I've noticed that many of them have morals that are exactly like what's written in the book of Proverbs. I have even found the corresponding verses for DS as they've arisen.
So I was thinking on moon day the 23rd about who was older, aesop or Solomon?
http://www.wordsight.org/btl/000_btl-fp.htm
says Solomon was born 1033 BC and died after 1000 BC
says aesop was born 620 BC and lived 56 years
so I've no doubt aesop was not nearly as "wise" as Solomon
I have enjoyed the aesop selections AmbleSide listed to be read, so glad we did Year 1
We will come back to AmbleSide after we do Beyond by H.O.D. .. I'll probably make a combo year 2/3 to catch us up ... hopefully by then DS and I can take turns reading aloud so it's not just me doing all the reading out loud.
