Latin 4

This advanced level literature course focuses on Vergil's Aeneid and Caesar's De Bello Gallico. The nature of epic poems and of war propaganda is a central focus of this course. Portions of the two works may also be read in translation to enhance understanding of the nature of the works. This is primarily a literature course with additional readings on mythology and ancient history. There is also continued emphasis on oral/aural learning of Latin. This course is recommended for most students who have successfully completed Latin III and are interested in reading Latin literature, in developing reading and translating skills and in refining written expression.
