Daily Greek Vocabulary Review: July 1

Today marks the start of a 10-week review, looking back over all 70 groups of proverbs (in random order) that we have done so far. Repetition is the key to learning, and it's also what proverbs are all about too: proverbs and sayings are meant to be repeated over and over again. As the saying goes: Δὶς καὶ τρὶς τὸ καλόν! Plus, several people have told me it was hard keeping up with all the proverbs over the past 12 weeks. So, this review will hopefully give everybody a chance to catch up, including people who may have started participating only recently.

Here's how it will work: each day for the next 10 weeks, I'll post a group of proverbs here with a link back to the earlier post so you can review the vocabulary, translation, and commentary. I'll also include the audio here, plus a link to a review worksheet that includes the proverbs for the current day plus the two previous days. I hope you will enjoy seeing the proverbs again this way!

1. Δὶς κράμβη θάνατος.
2. Ὄφιν ἐν τῷ κόλπῳ τρέφεις.
3. Ἰατρὲ, θεράπευσον σεαυτόν.
4. Ἄνδρῶν ἡρώων τέκνα πήματα.
