| LATIN 104 | LATIN POETRY: THE AENEID | CLAXTON, C. | Vergil's Aeneid has rightly been considered the pinnacle of Roman epic and it is a "must-read" for all students of Latin. In this class, we will start at the beginning with Book One and will read this book in the original Latin. If time permits, we will read selections from other books of the Aeneid. We will consider what makes an epic an epic, the differences between Vergil's work and the Homeric epics, and what makes this work uniquely Roman. We will also examine what modern commentators have said about the epic. To further this aim, weekly assignments will also include reading of selected articles and the entire epic in English. As we read the Latin text, close attention will be paid to grammatically accurate translation, the development of translation strategies, scansion, and vocabulary building. Weekly vocabulary quizzes, midterm, final examination and written synopses of articles. Prerequisite: Latin 100B or equivalent.
