On the homepage with just one vote, the source is Aesop's fables.

Also a metaphor from Antigone

Aesop's Fables predated Antigone by about 200 years and it is believed that Antigone borrowed from Aesop.

Oh I'm not negating what you said! I'm saying its obviously a relatable metaphor to carry through so many works and years

OK, very well then. Both of these are from a greco culture, I am wondering if this metaphor escaped the culture or is only visible in allusions to these works.
