Proverbiis Pipilo: You can see my Twitter feed, full of proverbs while I am online each day - here's a recent one I really liked, which is a great motto for hard-working bloggers like myself: Labor ipse voluptas.. :-)

Greek Proverb of the Day: Today's proverb is Λύειν δ' οὐκ ἔστιν, ἀγνοοῦντα τὸν δεσμόν (English: There is no loosening the bond for someone who fails to understand it - a great saying about why people can get themselves all tangled up in problems they cannot escape from).

Latin Via Fables: Simplified Fables: I'm now presenting the "Barlow Aesop" collection, fable by fable, in a SIMPLIFIED version (same story, but in simpler sentences) - with a SLIDESHOW presentation to go along with it, too. Today's Simplified fable is Fable 28: Canis Mordax, the story of a dog who was both vicious and foolish.
Bestiaria Latina Podcasts: Today's audio podcast is Fabula: De Urso et Alveari, one of my favorite fables about the perils of having a bad temper.
