The Old Man and Death
open-in-new
<p>The Old Man and Death is one of <a href="/facts/Aesop%27s_Fables/lKAB41Fr">Aesop's Fables</a> and is numbered 60 in the <a href="/facts/Perry_Index/wsjw6xhh">Perry Index</a>. Because this was one of the comparatively rare fables featuring humans, it was the subject of many paintings, especially in France, where <a href="/facts/Jean_de_la_Fontaine/uJBR69GV">Jean de la Fontaine</a>'s adaptation had made it popular. </p>
