LatinViaProverbs.com: I'm continuing to work on the online guide to the Latin Via Proverbs book, with grammar notes and English translations, working through the book group by group. Today I've posted notes for Group 115, a group of proverbs featuring second conjugation verbs with fourth and fifth declension nouns.
LatinViaFables.com: I'm continuing to work my way through the 15th-century Latin fables of Abstemius! With each fable I'm posting the Latin text, a segmented Latin text, along with an English translation by me, plus the rollicking 17th-century translation by Sir Roger L'Estrange. Today's fable is De Testudine et Ranis: The Tortoise and The Frogs. This is an original fable based on a familiar Aesopic theme: all of us animals should be happy with the endowments we have, instead of envying other creatures.
