Course Description: You’ve read Lugete, Passer, and Vivamus. But have you read the “long poems” (61-68)? If not, you don’t know what you’re missing! Supercharge your active Latin with these delightful masterpieces! Over the course of ten sessions, we’ll cover Catullus’ Poems 61-68, dedicating three sessions to his “little epic”, Poem 64. You’ll “play games” between sessions with customized ludi domestici. Whether you are new to spoken Latin or a veteran, there will be something for everyone.
