In this 6-week Latin course, students will read four myths from Ovid's Metamorphoses. We will learn the basics of scansion in dactylic hexameter verse as well as several rhetorical devices employed by this great Latin poet. The four myths we will read in Latin are Apollo and Daphne; Pyramus and Thisbe; Daedalus and Icarus; and Midas and the Golden Touch. Each lesson students will have ample opportunity to translate, practice their Classical Latin pronunciation, scan lines of Latin poetry, and more, all the while honing their existing Latin skills and building on them.
Learning Goals
Students will learn the fundamentals of Latin hexameter verseStudents will learn to process and understand Latin poetry - it's quite different from prose writing!Syllabus

Pre-Requisites
Students should have at least 2 or 3 years of high school level Latin as prerequisite for this class. The word order of Ovid's poetry will test even the most adept Latin grammar student, so a strong grammatical foundation is essential.
Supply List
Recommended textbooks may be provided in the Classroom upon enrollment. However, no texts are required for this class since Ovid's writings have been in the public domain for centuries and are available online for free!
