The aim of this paper is to analyse how Catalan proverbs can be related to several Greco-Latin antecedents according to which the house occupies a fundamental place in people’s lives. In these proverbs, the house is represented from two different but complementary points of view: the space of intimacy, in which every individual can feel safe, and the place where the socialization of people begins, so that it constitutes a microcosm governed by social rules which condition the relationships between its inhabitants.

This paper aims to investigate the Classical proverbs listed as equivalents to the Catalan proverb L’amic, prova’l primer ans que l’hages menester by Sebastià Farnés in his volume entitled Paremiologia catalana comparada. In this paper, I will establish these Classical proverbs’ sources, consider their authenticity and correspondence with this Catalan proverb, and increase the number of Classical sources, since this Catalan proverb bears witness to its Classical tradition and is related to philosophical and literary passages that can be considered as previous manifestations of this tradition. These Greek and Latin passages are compiled and compared so as to determine the different ways in which the idea included in this Catalan proverb was expressed over time. The conclusion is that the consideration about friendship presented by this proverb is embedded into a long textual/ideological tradition which ultimately refers to the sage Solon, the poet Theognis and the philosopher Theofrast, although there may be connections with the Judeo-Christian tradition as well.
