I don't know about everybody else, but these last weeks leading into the election and what is likely to be a tumultuous aftermath to the election has me kind of distracted! So, since we just reached 500 proverbs, I thought it might be a good occasion to switch to a more intermittent review system, reviewing the proverbs each time we hit a nice round number like that. So, for the next 3 weeks, I'll be doing a review of the new 150 proverbs added since the last big review. Each day will feature a random selection of 10 proverbs, and those proverbs will be linked to the blog post where they first appeared so that you can consult the English translation and commentary as needed, and also listen to the audio if you like.
Here then are today's proverbs to review, plus you can find all 500 proverbs and all the audio at the blog, along with all the review Padlets which display the proverbs at random week by week including the translation and commentary.
- Προμέρου κύνες.
- Ὑπὲρ κάρα πτύεις.
- Κοινὰ πάθη πάντων.
- Μὴ κίνει Καμάριναν.
- Ἐς πόδας ἐκ κεφαλῆς.
- Μήτε νεῖν, μήτε γράμματα.
- Ὁ οἶνος οὐκ ἔχει πηδάλια.
- Πονηρός ἐστι πᾶς ἀχάριστος ἄνθρωπος.
- Κάτοπτρον εἴδους χαλκός ἐστ'· οἶνος δὲ νοῦ.
- Φάγε ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ ἄρτον σου καὶ πίε ἐν καρδίᾳ ἀγαθῇ οἶνόν σου.
And here's a random proverb too:
