Many proverbs and sentences are present in the Fables of Phaedrus. Some fables are based on proverbs, otherwise there is a quotation of an unessential proverb: in the fi rst case sometimes the fable is traditional, sometimes completely new. Sentences are often quoted in the fi rst verse, where the memory of a particular topos is very important. Finally, it is very important that some phaedrian expressions (like, for example, «Nondum matura est») became very famous and similar to proverbs.

Abstract
Many proverbs and sentences are present in the Fables of Phaedrus. Some fables are based on proverbs, otherwise there is a quotation of an unessential proverb: in the fi rst case sometimes the fable is traditional, sometimes completely new. Sentences are often quoted in the fi rst verse, where the memory of a particular topos is very important. Finally, it is very important that some phaedrian expressions (like, for example, «Nondum matura est») became very famous and similar to proverbs.File in questo prodotto:
