First, it deals with discoveries and inventions, both useful and pleasurable, and more generally changes that transformed the way people live. Theophrastus wrote a work entitled On Discoveries , which may be regarded as cultural history. Second, the volume focuses on proverbs: familiar sayings containing useful truths that have been observed by earlier generations and passed on in a form that is concise and attractive. Theophrastus wrote a work entitled On Proverbs and made use of proverbs in his writings on ethics, rhetoric and humor. He recognized their importance in educating the young and maintaining the traditions of an earlier age. 410 0$aPhilosophia antiqua ;$vVolume 136. 606 $aPeripatetics 606 $aProverbs in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPeripatetics. 615 0$aProverbs in literature. 676 $a185 700 $aFortenbaugh$b William W.$0153606 702 $aGutas$b Dimitri 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453589203321 996 $aTheophrastus of Eresus$9244226 997 $aUNINA
