Form+V

=Form V Latin= We will begin the year by finishing our study of Catullus's love poetry. We will then turn from the theme of love to war (not unrelated in the minds of many ancient poets) and spend much of the year considering the most respected of all Roman epics, Vergil's //Aeneid.// The text we will use to study Vergil's masterwork is Richard LaFleur's //Song of War//, which provides us with all the necessary ancillary notes we need to apprehend the Latin, as well as a plethora of discussion questions and thematic material to ponder.
