Synopsis

Colakis presents excerpts from Latin works to help students preparing for the International Baccalaureate examination in Latin, specifically the sections on Vergil, Love Poetry, and Women. The texts are also suitable as readings for advanced high school or intermediate college Latin students. She introduces each piece by setting it in historical and literary context, and provides marginal glosses and clarifications of the Latin and commentary on the content. Vergil is represented by the Aeneid and the Georgics. The love poetry is by Catullus, Propertius, and Tibullus. Ovid, Livy, Cicero, Vergil, Horace, Propertius, and Catullus write about women. Appendices present a historical timeline, explain Latin meter, and gloss technical terms. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
