Perhaps in a Shakespeare play

Hello.

The famous tale-telling slave reputedly from Phrygia was Aesop.

sources:

"...Aesop was originally a Phrygian slave on the island Samos, but
managed to earn his freedom through his wits. He was then to spend his
life at the court of the famous king Croesus."

"Aesop is the supposed author of a collection of Greek fables.
Herodotus wrote that he was a Phrygian slave from Samos who lived in
the 6th century B.C. The fables are anecdotal stories that originated
in popular oral folklore and whose animal characters are used to
illustrate a moral point."

"Aesop's Fables is another kind of mythos. Nobody really knows who
Aesop was or where or when did he live. They say he was a Phrygian
slave."
