Recently I have been reading into Biopower and Biopolitics which finds its origins in Foucault. Agamben's "Homo Sacer" has been extremely interesting, especially because I wish to do some more research in Disability Studies. I am looking forward to reading Lennard J Davis.

i think one of the funniest things about learning latin is that some of the people that we frequently translate (cicero, ovid, saints augustine and thomas, catullus) have become my little buddies. my pals. i see things written by them and i read it like i’m reading something written by my close personal friend

Rating all the Latin authors I've read in the past two years in honor of my oral Latin exam tomorrow

Caesar (De Bello Gallico)

This is a weird one because while his prose isn't extremely difficult, it was also the first unedited work I read, so for lil 15-year-old me, this was very difficult. But I learned a lot from Caesar (especially that he made it an art to making his sentences as long as possible. We read an entire 200 words, and IT WAS JUST ONE SENTENCE.), and the sense of nostalgia while rereading it is very pleasant, so I will give you a solid 6/10

Pliny the Younger (Epistulae)

Mixed feelings about this one again. This could also be just because I despise prose. I really do not like it at all. Pliny's epistulae were pretty okay. I liked them a little better than Caesar's because of their variety (for those that don't know, epistulae means letters). His letter about the Vesuvius was a lot of fun to translate, even with all the hyperbata, but his letters about or to his third wife were very uncomfortable. Like, I get things were different back then. BUT YOU WERE 45, PLINY. 45. SHE WAS WHAT? 14? 15 TOPS? MY GOD. THAT'S A BIGGER AGE DIFFERENCE THAN I HAVE WITH MY FATHER.

7/10

Ovid (Metamorphoses)

Ovid is life Ovid is love. He was the one who introduced me to Latin poetry, and I will always love him for it. He was an icon and a legend. The poems of his that we read (Daedalus & Icarus, Latona and the Lycian peasants, Diana and Actaeon) were all bangers, and I love them all to death. I never wanted to go back to reading prose after this (but unfortunately, I will have to next year. ew)

11/10 (I love you, Ovid)

Vergil (The Aeneid)

*deep sigh* Listen. I love his complex works, and I have great respect for this poem but by the GODS. Vergil's poetry is the most difficult I've had to translate by a long shot. He made me rethink my entire career in Latin. I have considered quitting so many times because of this man. I felt like a complete idiot most of the time. This is not a guy to fuck with. Luckily I got through it on my finals (barely.) but Christ alive this man made my life difficult.

5/10

Horatius (Satires and Odes)

Horatius will always have a special place in my heart. We read his poetry right after Vergil's, and it almost completely restored my faith in my abilities. He's just my little guy and I have fond memories of translating his works. We still know many Latin phrases that he wrote (Carpe Diem being the most famous. Hello, DPS fandom). Also, he and Vergil were most definitely in love. I don't make the rules. I have evidence if you want me to elaborate.

9/10

Catullus (love poems)

Ah, Catullus. Horny poet of the year. Had a wild affair with an older married woman. Nepotism baby. Sappho stan. Didn't know how to budget, but we aren't holding that against him. Just wanted to write poetry and dance (who doesn't, honestly). Gave fuck-all about education. Wrote nearly all of his poetry about the older woman he had an affair with. Might I add that this woman was married to one of his father's bestest buddies? Yeah. Icon. Here's a kid's choice award.

8/10

Martialis (Epigrams)

This dude had ZERO chill. Roasted everyone in the city. Literally, no one is safe. Wasn't afraid to call people out by their real names. Some people allegedly committed suicide after being roasted by this guy. Translating his epigrams gave me more joy than hearing we had seen the end of Vergil. His humour may be a little silly now, but I will not accept any Martialis slander on my blog.

10/10

And that is all folks

The sun is out and seasonal depression is a complete stranger. This is what taking molly at coachella must feel like.

I’ve been studying Latin & French every day and doing my best to be creative again. I’m an angry person with a romantic soul. If people didn’t make me angry enough to get my degree I’d be writing love letters in a grotto somewhere. A girl can dream.

studet et dormi 🔁

So instead of choosing a useful language to learn, I've decided to start studying Latin :)

Yeah ik it's not completely useless but.... outside of science, how often is it really used? :(

Then again I like it, plus you get to study Roman history while doing so, which I also like. Plus I plan to study biology, too.

The last few days I have shifted over to a study of language and deconstruction, I have finally finished my readings of Derrida as well. From there I moved to postcolonial theory, which is one of my huge special interests.

If anyone would be interested in talking about literary theory, feel free to contact me!

So let me get this right: The word "condere" means to put together. And also to found. And also to recover and to cover? And also to bury a dead person???

Actual Things™ my Latin teacher has said

"If one of you idiots starts carving on the walls of the Colosseum and gets caught by police I do not know you. Good luck."

"Well I truly wish for you to have many partners in your life"

(on his birthday, after being asked how he felt) "Older than I was previous year"

"My French is completely messed up because I learnt Italian right after it. Now when I have to make a call in French they think they have an Italian idiot on the other line."

"Sure you can pack lighter than 15kg. I do it every year and I bring books."

"Every year I make it clear I hate being filmed for the last 100 days of school. And every year you lot get more creative to trick me into being filmed anyway. I hate you all."

#definitely adding to this list for the last 5 months I have him as my teacher #is it obvious that he is my favourite #like I have two teachers in my school that i would without a doubt die for #and thats my latin teacher #and my art teacher #god i love them #manifesting for my latin teacher to be the guide to our group when we go to italy this year #latin student #latin literature #teaching #quotes from my teacher #honestly what the fuck should I tag this
