Rackham was often his own model; there are several self-caricatures to be detected in Aesop's Fables. He is the man who catches the flea the pompous gentleman who scoldsd the drowning boy the credulous slave-owner who scrubs the black boy" Hudson Derek.

Then too he was really more attached to truth than the poets are; for the latter do violence to their own stories in order to make them probable; but he by announcing a story which everyone knows not to be true told the truth by the very fact that he did not claim to be relating real events" Philostratus Life of Apollonius of Tyana Book V:14.<br /> <br /> Latimore and Haskell pp. 38-39; Riall p. 111.
