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.
Online Latin texts (caveat lector): thelatinlibrary forumromanum perseus
Michael Hendry of curulio.org has some handouts on the meters of Horace
