Latin 3 begins with a thorough review of grammar and vocabulary. By the end of the Fall Term, the course focuses on the reading of advanced Latin prose. The Winter Term features the reading of heroic legends in Latin and a thorough study of Greek and Roman myths by way of Edith Hamilton’s Mythology. The goal of this course is to prepare students for selected readings from a Roman author during the Spring Term. At the honors level, students complete an accelerated review of grammar and vocabulary in the Fall Term and read selections from Cicero and Vergil in the Winter and Spring Terms, with a focus on the Roman Republic and an introduction to Latin poetry and mythology.

 

Prerequisite: Latin 2 or departmental approval.
