For 10 points, name this Greek fabulist.
John Vanbrugh adapted a play about this man by EdmÃ© Boursault into English. Maximus Planudes wrote a life of this man, who shares his name with Thomas Glahn's dog in Knut Hamsun's Pan. He appears in an 18th-century novelette called The History and Amours of Rhodope, whose title character is a hetaera who is often depicted as having a love affair with him. His works as well as those of Avianus were translated into French by Marie de France. The attribution to this man of a story about a black slave who tries to wash off his own blackness has been used to support the theory that he was an Ethiopian slave. His own works include one in which an ant refuses to give food to a starving grasshopper, rebuking it for its laziness, as well as one in which a mouse saves a lion by chewing through its bindings.
