man the whiplash you get from teaching advanced latin grammar to middle school students...one second you'll overhear one of them saying "you need to stop being so sus and start being skibidi" and the next they'll be explaining the sequence of tenses for participles to a classmate who has a question

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

Duke, -duce, Herzog & ziehen

Duke comes from the Latin word dux (leader). It's related to the verb dūcere (to lead; pull), whence English -duce, for example in to seduce (whose original Latin meaning was 'to lead astray').

The second part of German Herzog (duke) is cognate to dux. This part, -zog, is related to the German verb ziehen (to pull), cognate of dūcere.

Old English had cognates of both words. Its counterpart of Herzog was heretoga (army leader). In Middle English it became heretowe, which would've become modern *hartow. The Old English cognate of ziehen was tēon. This verb would've become *to tee if it had continued to exist. See the infographic for information about its past tense and past participle.

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
