The course is meant for students who already have gained at least a rudimentary knowledge of Classical Latin. The teacher will lead them to a closer familiarity with the aforementioned language by focusing on peculiar problems of pronounce, morphology, syntax and lexicon.

The syllabus is twofold. Its first section is a general part (PARTE ISTITUZIONALE), where the students work independently, improving and consolidating their knowledge of Latin language through the perusal of a given companion on the topic. The second section (CORSO MONOGRAFICO) is developed by the teacher, and will offer a thorough survey and commentary to some important Latin texts concerning or focusing on the dimension of Irrational: Horace (epod. 3 e 5 and sat. 1, 8), Ovid (fast. 5, 419-484), Apuleius (met. 2, 1-15).

Knowledge of Latin language, even if rudimentary, is required.

The student will acquire a basic but solid knowledge of Classical Latin, including phonetics, morphology, syntax, and is able to translate and comment upon the required text.

The teaching material prepared by the lecturer in addition to recommended textbooks (such as for instance slides, lecture notes, exercises, bibliography) and communications from the lecturer specific to the course can be found inside the Moodle platform › blended.uniurb.it
