Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)
Ap·o·logue
n.
A
story
or
relation
of
fictitious
events
,
intended
to
convey
some
moral
truth
;
a
moral
fable
.
Note:
☞
An
apologue
differs
from
a
parable
in
this
;:
the
parable
is
drawn
from
events
which
take
place
among
mankind
,
and
therefore
requires
probability
in
the
narrative
;
the
apologue
is
founded
on
supposed
actions
of
brutes
or
inanimate
things
,
and
therefore
is
not
limited
by
strict
rules
of
probability
. Æ
sop's
fables
are
good
examples
of
apologues
.
