Learning Objectives
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.
Program
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).
Bridging Courses
Knowledge of Latin language, even if rudimentary, is required.
