Workshops (Saturday 3:15-4:00 pm and 4:15-5:00 pm) Caesar and Shakespe are and the Soothsayer and Me: FloMo Auditorium Steven Saylor, Author

My new novel begins in the days leading up to the assassination of Julius Caesar. But how do you write a mystery novel about the most famous murder in history? Thanks to Shakespeare, everybody knows who did it! But Shakespeare didn’t know all the details when he wrote his famous play—such as the name of the soothsayer who warns Caesar about the Ides of March. He was Spurinna, an Etruscan haruspex—and apparently a friend of Caesar. But if they were friends, why didn’t Caesar heed the warning—and if Spurinna knew something, why did he cloak his warning in such a mysterious way? My own research for The Throne of Caesar looked into that question, and many others about the Ides of March.

Consider Who You Are! Cosmopolitanism and Tough Choices: A118 Dr. Sara Magrin, Associate Professor of Classics, Berkeley

When in today’s society we say of someone “She is cosmopolitan!” we mean it as a compliment. This is because being "cosmopolitan"—at ease with different cultures, open-minded about different beliefs and ways of living —is hard, especially when other people’s beliefs go against our own convictions.

Hell: A Rough Place to Work but Someone's Got to Do It: A119 Dr. Mary Blum, Latin Teacher at Convent and Stuart Hall

In this workshop, we will explore "The Gargoyle Cantos" of Dante Alighieri's radical (for its time) epic, The Inferno. This work was considered revolutionary when he published it for two reasons. First, he wrote it in mediaeval Italian, the vulgate language descended from classical Latin, instead of in the mother tongue itself. Latin was considered THE language of learning and literature, and yet Dante bucked that convention to showcase his native language. Secondly, no one else had the guts to write about Hell and to place his own contemporaries (still living!) in that place of eternal damnation. Thus, The Inferno is both a celebration of language and a serious poke at a lot of very important people. We will look at "The Gargoyle Cantos" in both mediaeval Italian and English, looking at the similarities and differences between the Italian and Latin, as well as at the imagery Dante presents us with. Both hilarious and deadly serious, these verses are an important artefact of both language and literature. Come experience first-hand how the demons who work in Hell handle those humans who have been sent there by Dante. We will laugh, we will learn, and we will hear demons pass gas.

Cognition Theory and the Latin Classroom: A122 Dr. Scott Roos, Latin Teacher and Dean of Students, Squaw Valley Academy

Scott Roos will report on some of the latest educational and technical research in “Cognition Theory and the Latin Classroom.” Practical applications for Latin instruction can be discovered in areas like Human Cognitive Architecture and Cognitive Load Theory. Scott will also examine visual organizers and concept maps by means of examples that he has created to aid classroom teaching and learning.. And we’ll hear from him concerning ways to encourage the valuable practice of “self-explanation” in language teaching.

Plato and Behavioral Economics: A123 Nick Romeo, English Teacher at Menlo School

Silicon Valley loves to imagine that it is inventing the future, but in many ways it has actually forgotten the past. In this talk, Nick Romeo, who studied ancient Greek philosophy and worked as a cultural critic for the New Yorker, the Atlantic, and other national venues, will explore how many of the major "discoveries" of behavioral economics are already present in Plato. Then we will discuss how literature and philosophy often articulate ideas that are later "discovered" even when they are, in fact, rediscoveries.

Make Athens Great Again! - Lessons From an Ancient Demagogue: A138 Mary Kelly, Latin Teacher, University HS, SF

What exactly is a demagogue? In modern politics, it's "a political leader who seeks support by appealing to popular desires and prejudices rather than by using rational argument" (Merriam-Webster Dictionary). It's a term often used to criticize leaders who get people a little too riled up. But don't all politicians win over crowds by appealing to people's emotions? When does this approach cross the line and start to cause harm? To tackle this question we will be learning about one of the most famous Ancient Greek demagogues - the Athenian general Cleon of the 5th century BCE. Although an aristocrat, Cleon gained power by appealing to the common people with his unpolished manner of speaking, charisma and aggression (sound familiar?). We will hear from some ancient sources that felt Cleon posed a serious threat to democracy. We'll consider some more modern historians who feel that Cleon was terribly misrepresented by these ancient sources. In the process, we'll hopefully pick up a few useful tools for evaluating and critiquing the demagogues who arise in our own democracy.

The Universe Before Copernicus: A142 Dr. John Rundin, Lecturer in Classics, UCDavis

In 1543, Copernicus published his De revolutionibus orbium coelestiumin which he argued that the sun was at the center of the universe. It took many decades for his views to triumph. Before that, the Ptolemaic system was generally accepted in Europe, according to which the earth is at the center. Learn how that model was founded and how it creates a view of the world that greatly differs from our own.

Hannibal, Rome's Greatest Enemy: His "Secret Weapon": A117 Dr. Patrick Hunt, Lecturer in Classics, Stanford

Hannibal's elephants crossing the Alps with his army in winter are memorable, but less known is his "secret weapon" of using nature to bolster his arsenal. How did Hannibal surprise the Romans time and again with his brilliant tactics? His use of "psy-ops" is a primary topic of this presentation mainly from Dr. Patrick Hunt's new book HANNIBAL (Simon and Schuster, 2017) along with the enigma of the man himself and his legacy. Hunt also works for National Geographic - sponsor of his Hannibal fieldwork - and has taught at Stanford for 26 years.

Cicero and Atticus: A146 Dr. Carey Seal, Associate Professor of Classics, UCDavis

M. Tullius Cicero and T. Pomponius Atticus were friends from childhood. Their correspondence provides a precious record of Roman politics at the end of the Republic and a moving testimonial of a lifelong friendship.

Latin’s Italian Afterlife: A150 Kristen Hook, Graduate Student, Dept. of Italian, Berkeley

You probably know that Latin ultimately evolved into today’s Romance languages—Spanish, French, Italian, Romanian. But how did this happen? What did this process actually look like? At what point does Latin stop being ‘Latin,’ and start being something else? Come look at the some of earliest documents, paintings, and inscriptions that give us a behind-the-scenes glimpse of Latin becoming Italian.

Shot Through the Heart, Aeneas to Blame: Troy Gives Love a Bad Name: Gym 6-7 Damian Harmony, Latin Teacher, John F. Kennedy High School; Stand-up Comic

How did Dido not see this coming - besides being shot with Cupid’s arrow, of course? It’s not like Aeneas’s entire story about the fall of Troy wasn’t a huge warning to her! Come and find all the clues that DudeBro Aeneas was trying to drop to an enraptured Queen Bee. Will his stories be enough to overcome her thirst? Or will Cupid’s arrow be the least of her wounds?

Virgil's Environmentalism: The Earth Strikes Back in the Aeneid: A151 Dr. David Smith, Professor of Classics, SFSU

Who would have thought that Virgil was such a big environmentalist? In fact, he seems to have grown more and more so over the course of his life, from creating an idyllic natural world in the Eclogues of his youth to characterizing farming as an unnatural struggle in the Georgics. But only toward the end of his life does Virgil's support of nature become clearest. We shall see how, in the Aeneid, as the Trojans arrive in Italy, their attempts to take possession of the land are met with fierce resistance by none other than... the Earth itself!

Wonder Woman: An Amazon for the 21st Century: A155 Dr. Sarah Harrell, Latin Teacher, The Bentley School

Wonder Woman's popularity has surged since the movie telling her story broke box office records in 2017. Wonder Woman was created as a comic book heroine in the early years of World War II, and from her beginnings she has had a backstory that draws on Greek and Roman mythology. She has always been an Amazon, but the story of her birth and the source of her powers has shifted over time. This talk will examine the mythology of Wonder Woman from her first appearance in comic books to her emergence as an Amazon for the 21st century. It will look at how her creators have transformed Greek and Roman sources to build a new mythology that may make purists cringe, but demonstrates the continued resonance of the classical past.

Witches in Greek and Roman Antiquity: A255 Luke Loper, Graduate Student, Classics, SFSU

What do witches put in their potions, and why those ingredients? How come witches are often made out to be ghastly cave dwellers? If you wanted to find a witch, where would you go in the ancient Mediterranean to find one? What did it matter if a leading Roman were accused of witchcraft? By learning more about how witches and witchcraft were treated in antiquity, we may start to trace the patterns that have influenced popular culture today.

Scopa!: A242 Dobbie Vasquez, Menlo Sponsor

Come learn how to play Scopa! (Broom), one of the most popular card games in Italy today. This 40-card game has 4 suits (clubs, coins, cups,and swords) and can be played with two to six players, though two and four are the most common. Take this back to your club, your friends, and your family.

The Moral of the Story? Arachne vs. Minerva in Ovid’s Metamorphoses: A251 Dr. Ellen Oliensis, Professor of Classics and Comparative Literature, UC Berkeley

In Ovid's Metamorphoses, a very talented girl named Arachne does something amazingly stupid: she challenges the goddess of weaving to a weaving contest. If you think you know what happens next, you are in for a surprise.

Make Latin Great Again? Policing Language, Then and Now: A250 Brandon Bark, Graduate Student, Stanford University, former NJCL 1st. VP and President

Romanes eunt domi or Romani ite domum? If you think Latin was easier to learn when it was a living language, think again! Who gets to decide what it correct language? How did Latin evolve as non-native speakers throughout the empire learned the language? Was Latin a national language or a lingua franca? Can the phenomenon of ancient language policing shed light on the current practice?

Legio VI: MS Garage

The Legion Six Historical Foundation is a California-based group of living historians who strive to recreate the soldiers and civilians of a Roman frontier town in the Second Century A.D. The group’s talented members have produced their own clothing, armor, equipment, and everyday objects, all based on actual archaeological finds, ancient representational arts and sculpture, and primary literary references. Come immerse yourself in Ancient Rome with Legio VI!
