Combined-level Latin

    $440.00

    “I began studying Latin to use it as a tool, but I quickly found more and more joy in just engaging with the language. When I read Latin, it’s like assembling the pieces of a puzzle– the language unfolds like a picture. Reading the Latin written by someone 2000 years ago not only allows me to see what they were thinking, but it also gives me a chance to reconstruct the images of how they viewed the events of their life.” ~Prof. Lauren

    This class is a continuation class for those studying at the Intermediate and Advanced Latin levels.  Students will continue to expand their vocabulary and knowledge of Latin grammar and will engage in an extensive survey of original Roman authors, including Cicero, Caesar, Vergil, Ovid, Horace, Catullus, Livy, and more!

    Note to parents: 

    • If your student is not a continuing student, please contact the instructor to discuss proper placement.
    • In this class, we will be reading Latin that was written by Roman writers. Although detail is not included, some of the readings may contain mature content or themes, which may include violence (including rape), death, references to sex, and ample amount of misogyny. While these themes may be present, as they are in many world mythologies (like Greek Mythology), fairy tales, and literature, they are not the primary focus of our class. The main focus of the class is Latin language acquisition.
    • This course is a continuation of Athena’s Introductory Latin 2 (Spring 2022).
