I chose Aesop Fables. I chose this because I read his work as a youngster. Aesop was born in Greece and had been a slave. During his slavery, Aesop enjoyed observing the behaviors of humans and animals.

In many ways, the Blue Whale is equivalent to a government. The leviathan of animals is the Blue Whale.

Although many forms of government exist, the best type of government, according to Thomas Hobbes’s Leviathan, is absolutism - a political system in which a sovereign
