Biographie fantaisiste d'un auteur semi-legendaire, la Vie d'Esope raconte l'etonnante ascension d'un miserable esclave, que son intelligence rusee et le soutien des dieux hissent peu a peu au niveau des grands de ce monde, mais qui, tel un heros de tragedie, perit, victime de son hybris, d'une fin de bouc emissaire.
Assemblage composite d'elements dont les plus anciens remontent a l'epoque classique, l'?uvre a pris sa forme actuelle au debut de notre ere, au moment meme ou s'epanouit le roman grec. Mais elle a pour heros un personnage qui, par son incroyable laideur et ses origines serviles, est aux antipodes des seduisants et aristocratiques jeunes premiers du roman grec, et fait figure de marginal culturel, protagoniste hors norme d'une ?uvre volontiers subversive ou figures d'autorites et representants de la haute culture sont assez durement mis a mal. Comme bien d'autres textes populaires, que ne protegeait pas le respect des copistes, la Vie d'Esope a fait l'objet d'adaptations successives au fil des siecles: c'est la version la plus ancienne, celle du manuscrit de Grottaferrata (G), qui est traduite ici en francais pour la premiere fois - accompagnee d'extraits des redactions ulterieures grace auxquels le lecteur pourra apprecier comment la legende d'Esope a ete progressivement assagie par les remanieurs.Specialiste de la litterature grecque d'epoque byzantine, Corinne Jouanno, docteur es lettres, est professeur de grec ancien a l'Universite de Caen.
