Aeneas was a refugee who fled the destruction of war in pursuit of a new life. We will concentrate on reading Virgil’s Aeneid Book 2, following the unfolding disaster of Troy through the eyes of Aeneas. During the course, we will also read Livy’s version of the story of Aeneas, meet Aeneas in Horace’s Carmen Saeculare and examine how Aeneas’ flight from Troy has been illustrated. Participants will contribute to a group translation of the texts, and will be encouraged to discuss content, style and sound. Some passages will be read in English. Whether you are renewing an acquaintance with Latin or you read Latin regularly, this course aims to offer a variety of approaches to an exciting part of the tale of Aeneas.
