Course Description:
In Spring 08, Latin 765 will focus on Horace’s Odes and Satires, especially the Odes, with assignments (perhaps extensive, though we won’t discuss all in class) elsewhere in the corpus as well.

Books:
I’ve ordered the Shackleton Bailey Teubner, and also the school commentaries of Garrison on Epodes & Odes and P.M. Brown on Satires I

The Nisbet & Hubbard (or Rudd for 3) commentaries, plus Syndikus in German, and West’s boosk with running little comments, will be put on reserve in the Classics Library

Requirements/Procedures:
Regular class attendance, "take-home" closed-book e-mail quizzes about every couple of weeks (usually given Th after class; you can do immediately or by Friday noon).  Extensive secondary readings, class reports.  For Odes, one student will be expert on Nisbet & Hubbard (or Rudd) for each class.  Student input welcome on how we should spend time after Spring Break.  Short paper due after Spring break.  Term paper.
