Speaking of all things Greek, we all know Aesop’s tale: overconfident rabbit challenges stodgy turtle to a race and manages to lose the race. Of course there have been many interpretations and debates (is there a moral lesson here or was rabbit corrupt and throw the race?).
Well at last a plausible explanation which I ran across on ever-cool Brain Pickings in a 1947 dramatization. Supporting characters include a raccoon, a fox, and an owl. So worth watching!
