Writer with excellent morals (5)

I believe the answer is:

aesop

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

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
