Answer by What?
Some people would include mythology, fables & folklore with fiction. So that makes it very old, too old to really pinpoint an exact time.

One of the world's earliest known novels was written by a young Japanese noblewoman.It is called the Tale of Genji and dates to about 1010AD. Daśakumāracarita by the Sanskrit writer Dandin dates to the 6th or 7th century.

Other older works, the Aeneid(29-19BC), the Iliad & the Odyssey (8th & 9th century BC), Beowulf (750-1000Ad) and the Epic of Gilgamesh (1300-1000BC) and the Ramayana(400BC to 200 CE) are just some works from the early history of fiction.
