The second semester of a yearlong introduction to Classical Latin. Our goals are: (1) to gain familiarity with morphology, syntax, and essential vocabulary; (2) to achieve sufficient fluency for selected  short readings from ancient authors in both prose and poetry; and (3)  to begin exploring the conventions of Latin literature and the  contexts, both cultural and historical, of ancient Rome. By the middle of the semester, we will have reached a reading level adequate to begin study of a literary and/or historical text.  Students who have had some previous Latin training other than Latin 101 at Bard are able to join the class by permission of the instructor.

Horace, the "poet's poet," was the Augustan poet par excellence -- able to move from cheerful abuse in the Satires, to a wry and dry philosophical wit in the Epistles, to a 'golden' lyricism in the Odes -- and then to surprise you in all genres by breaking whatever rules he had theoretically promulgated. We will read poems in all three genres, as well as the magnificent Ars Poetica, and also study the Augustan age as Horace's poetry reflects it. Our basic goals remain those enunciated for the advanced Latin course in the fall: (1) to solidify knowledge of vocabulary, morphology, and syntax; (2) to gain greater fluency in reading Latin, especially Latin poetry; and (3) to consider from a variety of critical perspectives issues raised by the poems' form and content. Prerequisite: successful completion of Latin 102, or permission of instructor. On-line registration
