The rating of the different categories comes from the opinion of Delibris' collaborators
Fables are very short narratives (just a few paragraphs) in which the ordinary characters are animals, intended to illustrate some point of common sense or morality: they usually end with a moral teaching. Aesop is considered the inventor of this literary style. It is probable that fables of other authors have been added to the collection of fables of his authorship - of which there are different manuscripts - attributing them to Aesop. Over the centuries, many of these fables have been adapted or reinvented.
