Faced with the ups and downs of life, love and fortune, the ancient Greeks shrugged their shoulders and quoted - or created - an apt proverb.  The best of these nuggets of wisdom and observation have never been forgotten. Here they are presented, earthy, direct, sharp and vivid as when they were first uttered.  Each proverb is given in the original Greek and the English translation, providing the perfect giftbook for all loveres of Greece.
