Course Description: Meeting two nights a week (an hour per session), the class will read selections from the student-friendly edition of Vergil’s Aeneid (Books I-VI) by Clyde Pharr, who provides abundant guidance and helpful notes. Additional resources may be furnished or recommended as needed. The course will be paced for an understanding of the grammar and will advance the acquisition of effective reading strategies while studying one of the most important of Latin texts.
DETAILS
Level: Intended for students with a basic or intermediate knowledge of Latin grammar who wish to improve their proficiency, in order to prepare for advanced reading or conversational courses. The ideal student may have just completed a course in introductory Latin grammar without yet having taken a course reading the great authors, or may have already taken a reading course but does not yet feel completely confident and would like more practice before moving on to advanced reading programs.
