This course is a continuation of Latin 101. The first seven or eight weeks of the semester will be devoted to completing Wheelock's Latin Grammar. This will involve a sequence of increasingly ambitious short readings of unaltered Roman prose and poetry. By the time we have completed Wheelock, the student will be prepared to read lengthier selections of Roman authors, and the remainder of the course will consist of careful reading of a short speech by Cicero and passages of poetry by Catullus or Ovid.

We will be reading the fourth book of Virgil's Aeneid, the story of the love affair between Dido and Aeneas and its tragic end. We will be using an edition of the Latin text that contains extensive notes and commentary in English. If time allows, we will read some of Virgil's Eclogues as an introduction to a different genre and diction of the same poet. Students with extensive High School Latin should see the instructor or Prof. Callanan about placement.
