Latin Literature Tournament - Round 1

Propaganda under the cut!

Suetonius Propaganda

I say this with all love and affection--Suetonius is so full of shit. Like reading a magazine in the grocery impulse aisle, in the best possible way

Has very cool intratextual bits and ring structures

He runs on pure vibes, and honestly I love this for him

Vergil Propaganda:

The vates himself, everyone. The poet so good that the Church was like "okay yeah this one magical pagan can stay"

The Fourth Eclogue is such a weird little delight. Is it about the children of Antony? Augustus? Is it a prediction of the birth of Christ? Is it somehow, as I heard one professor suggest for some reason, about Gallus? The possibilities are endless

Are you going to vote against the world-shattering masterpiece that is the Aeneid?

Side note, if you spell it "Virgil" you are my enemy

The words right and rectum have a common origin. Right comes from Proto-Germanic *rehtaz ('straight; right; just'). This word shared a common Proto-Indo-European ancestor with Latin rēctus ('straight; right; just'), from which the medical term rectum ('straight terminal part of the large intestine') was derived. The infographic shows more.

Latin Literature Tournament - Round 1

Propaganda under the cut!

Sulpicia Propaganda:

Sulpicia does more in 40 lines than most poets do in thousands

If you don't vote for the only female poet of whom we have any significant chunks, you're sexist. I don't make the rules

She is so fucking funny, you guys. I laugh out loud every time I read her

Terence Propaganda

Terence's Latin is really conversational and pleasant, giving a really cool look into everyday speech

He was a really important school author for centuries, up there with Vergil and Cicero

Surprisingly influential on Christian writing, including Augustine, Hrosvitha, and Erasmus, which is a testament to his style and his discussions of human behavior

been reading cicero's rant about words being given obscene meanings and i don't think i've ever seen a latin sentence that made me burst into such immediate and violent laughter before

#try reading it with an english pronunciation rather than a latin one. you'll enjoy it #today penis is in obscenis..........#tagamemnon #latin #queueusque tandem abutere catilina patientia nostra
