Sorry, the title was poorly worded. It should have included “etal”. The link goes to the correct answers.

I took everything I knew to be KJV or seemed to recognize from Shakespeare and stuck everything else in Aesop (unless I recognized it from a childhood book of Aesop's fables). If it seemed like a moral of the lesson, then I chose Aesop. The Song of Solomon one seemed more like Shakespeare but I should have remembered Ecclesiastes. The one about training up a fig tree sounding more like Oscar Wilde or someone like that who didn't actually know fig trees but who still wanted to make some snarky allusion to scripture.

Got it, thanks. I knew that several didn’t seem to fit any of the (apparent) choices.

You know what’s really annoying, though, is that the writer had to refererence the phrase “sour grapes,” apparently on the assumption that the readers were too dim to understand the original wording of Aesop’s moral.
