Named after the ancient Greek storyteller, Aesop is a new way to tell stories. To find them and share them with others. Stories exist because we do. And we share them because we are compelled to. They bring us together in ways nothing else can. Aesop is an app that pays homage to the classical forms of story while embracing the modern modes of storytelling. Literature and poetry, presented in the digital medium where we spend much of our day already.
