However, The Foundling shows that it was a known expression with its modern meaning by the 1700’s. The story doesn’t use the modern sense of the idiom at all since it is the fly who is injured and the man who is ‘insulted.’ How the modern use came about is unknown. And, since many writers did not even use this exact translation, which only appears in print much later, around the 1800’s, it is hard to say that The Bald Man and the Fly is its definite origin. It may be much older than Phaedrus’ use of it. It is impossible to tell where the exact origin of this phrase lies.

What will you do to yourself, who have added insult to injury?” The fly laughs and says, “You wanted to avenge the prick of a tiny little insect with death. In trying to swat the fly, he misses and ends up bonking himself on the head very hard. In the story, a bald man is bitten on the head by a fly. The origin is found in a passage from his translation of Aesop’s fables, “The Bald Man and the Fly.” In fact, it dates all the way back to the time of the Roman writer Phaedrus, who lived around 15 B.C. The idiom add insult to injury has quite ancient origins. “I sprained my ankle when I stepped off the curb, and then, to add insult to injury, my cousin Stevie laughed at me.” Origin “The teacher gave me an F on the test and then put my name up on a list on the bulletin board.
