Latin 232 focuses on the reading of excerpts of Book I and all of Book II of Vergil’s epic poem, the Aeneid. In this class, we will work on close translations, on issues of metrics and style, and on strengthening your understanding of Latin grammar and word-order issues. As Latin 232 constitutes the fourth and final course in the elementary Latin sequence, you will be asked to consolidate your basic skills in the syntax, morphology, and vocabulary of the language, and to demonstrate your ability to translate sections of the Aeneid at sight.
