Description

Are you as rich as Croesus or do you work like a slave? Do you perhaps have the Midas touch? Do you possess the eloquence of Cicero, or do you hate rhetorical questions?

Have you ever seen pantomime, heard the echo answer you, or thought at some point that something in your life was tragic? Do you know that phrases like 'under the aegis', 'Gordian knot', 'Damocles' sword', 'Herculean task' are also used in the English language?

Do you know where phrases like 'the apple of discord' or 'Pandora's box' owe their existence? Classic Greek phrases or words that have made a very long journey through time to be used to this day, and not only in the Greek language.

Latin phrases and words that have survived not only in Romance languages but also in Greek and many others. Carefully selected and commented with humor and originality, they will surely make you remember them!

Browse through this book and discover the story (myth or reality) that lies behind many familiar, everyday expressions in both the Greek and English languages.
