| LATIN 1B | FUNDAMENTALS | CONES, C. | This is the second quarter of first-year Latin. We will continue to cover Wheelock's Latin textbook. Instruction and practice in grammar and vocabulary will alternate with the reading of Latin passages. Daily homework, weekly quiz, midterm exam, and a final examination. Prerequisite: Latin 1A, equivalent, or permission of instructor. This course may be used to satisfy the breadth requirement in language (VI) as well as the School of Humanities foreign language requirement. |

| LATIN 104 | OVID'S METAMORPHOSE | ZISSOS, P. | In this course we will read selections from the third book of Ovid’s Metamorphoses, paying close attention to grammar, syntax, vocabulary and, more generally, the various peculiarities and difficulties of reading Latin poetry. We will also explore the rudiments of meter (like most Roman epic, the Metamorphoses is written in hexameter verse), as well as occasionally considering the literary tradition within which Ovid was writing, and the enormous influence the Metamorphoses has had on subsequent literature in nearly all periods through to our own. (Prerequisite: Latin 100 or equivalent, or consent of the department. This course may be repeated for credit as topics vary.) |
