The main goal of this course is to improve fluency at reading Latin poetry and prose, and, as such, much of our work shall focus on the language in primary texts. Tips and tricks on how to improve sight reading will periodically be discussed. In addition to the standard treatment of diction and grammar, we shall pay particular attention to such higher order phenomena as style, tropes, motifs, and meter. Indeed, another goal of this course is to explore how authors employ language to mold and manipulate their readers' interpretation of the text. For this class, we shall consider the (re)construction of the legendary figures of Rome's past by writers in the Augustan Age. Selections from the first book of Livy, Vergil's Aeneid, and Ovid's Metamorphoses will provide a broad array of exempla to be compared against the backdrop of Augustan cultural politics.

This class will adopt a thematic approach to the study of erotic verse in the Greco-Roman lyric tradition from Archilochus to Ovid. Recurrent conventional topoi of love poetry will be described and analysed in relation to their rhetorical framework and from a synchronic (paradigmatic) perspective. Major frameworks to be explored will be:- Âgeneric disavowal (recusatio), priamel, exclusus amator and erotic complaint (querela). The work of interpretation along rhetorical lines will focus on representative texts of canonic love poets, such as Sappho, Anacreon, Catullus, Horace, Ovid and Propertius.
