Fable writer (5)

I believe the answer is:
aesop
'fable writer' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for aesop that I've seen before include "Greek author of fables (c 620-560 BC)" , "Greek fabulist (Tortoise and the Hare)" , "fabulous figure?" , "Author of many fables" , "Greek storyteller" .)
