It's easy to find proverbs, sayings, quotations for latin language because it unique.
But for greek language not. Because there's also modern greek and so.
I just started learning it and I can't see if it's ancient greek or modern yet.
So I wanted to know, if there is a website with ancient greek proverbs, quotations, sayings which are written in greek and then translated to english.
Thanks.

Re: Greek proverbs
The first and second book don't have greek proverbs (in ancient greek language). At least I couldn't see any.
And the last one is modern greek, but right now I'm learning ancient greek.

Re: Greek proverbs
Oh, I apologise, I found them in a book. (but don't know which one) They're at very end of it. There aren't so many. But a lot of latin. Thanks!
