Latina Vi Certamen A.D. Xvii Kal. Ian. Mmxi

LATINA VI CERTAMEN A.D. XVII KAL. IAN. MMXI NOMEN ______Read the following story: Aeneas est vir Troianus qui urbem Troiam contra Graecos defendit. Decem annos Graeci urbem obsident. Decem annos Troiani Graecos repellunt. Tandem per dolum Graeci urbem nocte intrant. Multos Troianos capiunt, multos necant. Non iam urbem defendere Aeneas potest. Necesse est igitur ex urbe effugere et urbem novam petere. Multi amici quoque ab urbe Troia effugiunt. Omnes ad Italiam navigare parant. Aeneas, dum ex urbe effugit, senem portat. Senex est Anchises, pater Aeneae. Portare Anchisen necesse est quod senex ambulare non potest. Aeneas Anchisen portat; Anchises portat Penates, deos familiares. Aeneas etiam puerum ducit. Puer est Ascanius, filius Aeneae. Ascanius patrem spectat et manum tenet. Perterritus est Ascanius, quod multos clamores, magnos fragores audit. Valde Graecos timet.
