"The Fly and the Ant" fabulist (5)

I believe the answer is:

aesop

(Other definitions for aesop that I've seen before include "Greek fabulist (Tortoise and the Hare)" , "Author of many fables" , "Classic fable writer" , "Greek father of fables" , "satirical writer" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
