The focus of this course is on the understanding and the appreciation of the Latin language as a powerful vehicle for communication and artistry that is as relevant today as it was through the ages. Concentration will be on selected authors including Ovid, Catullus, and Caesar. Students will learn to compare and contrast the poets’craft: mode of expression, figure of speech, meter, imagery, structure, and theme. Mythology is studied in greater details as well. Students ready to take the SAT Subject test may do so during the course of the year.
