Greek Proverb of the Day: November 9

Here is today's proverb from the blog with a LOLcat and vocabulary too! This is a repeat of a proverb you've seen before, but the vocabulary list is new. The vocabulary links go to Logeion.

Δικτύῳ ἄνεμον θηρᾶς.

• δικτύῳ, from δίκτυον.
• ἄνεμον, from ἄνεμος.
• θηρᾶς, from θηράω.
