Famous fabulist (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aesop

'famous fabulist' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for aesop that I've seen before include "fabulous figure?" , "So ape the writer of fables" , "Greek author of fables (c 620-560 BC)" , "Great Greek teller of animal fables" , "Greek fabulist (Tortoise and the Hare)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
