>> Proverb Collection 1.12-1.13)
>>

>> pharaoh to go catch a fish (An abridged version first found in 1600

>> (Egyptian circa 1100 BC)

>> 5. Odysseus tells the Cyclops that his real name is nobody. When
>> Odysseus instructs his men to attack the Cyclops, the Cyclops shouts:
>> "Help, nobody is attacking me!" No one comes to help. (Homer. The
>> Odyssey 800 BC)
>>
>> 6. Question: What animal walks on four feet in the morning, two at
>> noon and three at evening? Answer: Man. He goes on all fours as a
>> baby, on two feet as a man and uses a cane in old age (Appears in
>> Oedipus Tyrannus and first performed in 429 BC)
>>
>> 7. Man is even more eager to copulate than a donkey - his purse is

>>
>> 8. Augustus was touring his Empire and noticed a man in the crowd who

>> Augustus 63 BC ? 29 AD)
>>
>> 9. Wishing to teach his donkey not to eat, a pedant did not offer him
