Author of many fables (5)
I believe the answer is:
aesop
'author of many fables' 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 "satirical writer" , "A pose by Greek writer of fables" , "Greek author, famous for his fables" , "fabulous figure?" , "A pose of famed fable teller" .)
