Bestiaria Latina Blog: Latin Proverbs and Fables Round-Up: May 25

I'm back again! The past few months, and the past couple years, have been pretty topsy-turvy with family stuff, but I'm going to try a new approach with the Bestiaria this summer so that it lines up with some other projects I am working on this summer. Let's see if I can manage to bring this back to life for the summer at least!

HODIE: ante diem octavum Kalendas Iunias.

ANIMAL PROVERBS: This is a new project I've just started to go along with some animal story work I am doing this summer. :-)

The younger ox learns to plow from the elder.

Be a snail in your planning, have wings in your deeds.

LATIN LOLCATS:

Cave canem!

Beware of dog!
