Horatii Carmina, Liber IV (Intermediate Latin Conversation)

Tues., 12pm (U.S. Eastern Time)

*Please note that this course will run only if two or more students enroll.

Course Description : Are you interested in poetry and Latin? Then this is the course for you! Among the Roman poets, Quintus Horatius Flaccus (65-27 B.C.) is notable for his technical mastery, control, and polish. His tone ranges from civilized to acerbic. In this course, we will delight in reading the entire Fourth Book of his Odes, asking ourselves if, how, and why Horace continues to influence the craft of poetry today. The course aims at a solid comprehension of Horace’s poems in the original Latin and then uses those poems as loci for exercising active/spoken Latin.

DETAILS

Level: This approach is particularly effective for students who have a good foundation in Latin grammar but are relatively new to active/spoken Latin and want to improve quickly.
