ANE Fun

I haven’t posted an Ancient Near Eastern tidbit in a while and figured it was about time to do so. Here are two ANE proverbs.

Brains over Brawn
The man who seized the lion’s tail sank in the river.
He who seized the fox’s tail escaped.

Making an Example
When fire consumes a rush, its companions will pay attention.

When you’re ready for the completely uncouth, let me know 🙂
