No. There is no mention of any Grecian deity by that name in Aesop, Homer, or in the later works of Ovid.
No, the Greeks did not "invent" literature. Babylon had its sagas and epic poems long before the Greeks, and the Mesopotamian Gilgamesh Epic - of which the Biblical story of Noah is a rewrite - was written some 1,400 years before Homer. But Greek writers like Homer and Aesop stand out from the rest of the ancient writers because their work is still widely read and appreciated.
