The paper studies the relationship between fable and myth: their points of contact and their differences. At the beginning both genres were used as example, and often they were instructive or etiological. They refer to stories which happened in old times. The characters are different, but no absolutely, because some gods appear in the fable, and some animals in the myth. The fable differs from the myth because it deals with situations of all kind, it is innovative and flexible. Besides, it has a critical and satiric character. The paper ends giving a list of the fables on which there are divine characters: gods in connection with the creation of mankind, and erotic and comic gods.
