    Virgil, Aeneid 11 (Pallas & Camilla) 1–224, 498–521, 532–96, 648–89, 725–835 G Latin text, study aids with vocabulary, and commentary ILDENHARD INGO GILDENHARD AND JOHN HENDERSON A dead boy (Pallas) and the death of a girl (Camilla) loom over the opening and the closing part of the eleventh book of the Aeneid. Following the savage slaughter in Aeneid 10, the AND book opens in a mournful mood as the warring parti es revisit yesterday’s killing fi elds to att end to their dead. One casualty in parti cular commands att enti on: Aeneas’ protégé H Pallas, killed and despoiled by Turnus in the previous book. His death plunges his father ENDERSON Evander and his surrogate father Aeneas into heart-rending despair – and helps set up the foundati onal act of sacrifi cial brutality that caps the poem, when Aeneas seeks to avenge Pallas by slaying Turnus in wrathful fury. Turnus’ departure from the living is prefi gured by that of his ally Camilla, a maiden schooled in the marti al arts, who sets the mold for warrior princesses such as Xena and Wonder Woman. In the fi nal third of Aeneid 11, she wreaks havoc not just on the batt lefi eld but on gender stereotypes and the conventi ons of the epic genre, before she too succumbs to a premature death. In the porti ons of the book selected for discussion here, Virgil off ers some of his most emoti ve (and disturbing) meditati ons on the tragic nature of human existence – but also knows how to lighten the mood with a bit of drag.

  • New Latin Grammar
    NEW LATIN GRAMMAR BY CHARLES E. BENNETT Goldwin Smith Professor of Latin in Cornell University Quicquid praecipies, esto brevis, ut cito dicta Percipiant animi dociles teneantque fideles: Omne supervacuum pleno de pectore manat. —HORACE, Ars Poetica. COPYRIGHT, 1895; 1908; 1918 BY CHARLES E. BENNETT PREFACE. The present work is a revision of that published in 1908. No radical alterations have been introduced, although a number of minor changes will be noted. I have added an Introduction on the origin and development of the Latin language, which it is hoped will prove interesting and instructive to the more ambitious pupil. At the end of the book will be found an Index to the Sources of the Illustrative Examples cited in the Syntax. C.E.B. ITHACA, NEW YORK, May 4, 1918 PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. The present book is a revision of my Latin Grammar originally published in 1895. Wherever greater accuracy or precision of statement seemed possible, I have endeavored to secure this. The rules for syllable division have been changed and made to conform to the prevailing practice of the Romans themselves. In the Perfect Subjunctive Active, the endings -īs, -īmus, -ītis are now marked long. The theory of vowel length before the suffixes -gnus, -gna, -gnum, and also before j, has been discarded. In the Syntax I have recognized a special category of Ablative of Association, and have abandoned the original doctrine as to the force of tenses in the Prohibitive. Apart from the foregoing, only minor and unessential modifications have been introduced. In its main lines the work remains unchanged.

Kruger THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK iv ABSTRACT DEPRESSIVES AND THE QUEER SCENES OF WRITING by ALLEN DURGIN Adviser: Professor Robert Reid-Pharr My dissertation attempts to answer the question: What exactly does a reparative reading look like? The question refers to Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick’s provocative essay on paranoid and reparative reading practices, in which Sedgwick describes how the hermeneutics of suspicion has become central to a whole range of intellectual projects across the humanities and social sciences. Criticizing this dominant critical mode for its political blindness and unintended replication of repressive social structures, Sedgwick looks for an alternative in what she calls reparative reading.

  • Latin Derivatives Dictionary
    Dedication: 3/15/05 I dedicate this collection to my friends Orville and Evelyn Brynelson and my parents George and Marion Greenwald. I especially thank James Steckel, Barbara Zbikowski, Gustavo Betancourt, and Joshua Ellis, colleagues and computer experts extraordinaire, for their invaluable assistance. Kathy Hart, MUHS librarian, was most helpful in suggesting sources. I further thank Gaylan DuBose, Ed Long, Hugh Himwich, Susan Schearer, Gardy Warren, and Kaye Warren for their encouragement and advice. My former students and now Classics professors Daniel Curley and Anthony Hollingsworth also deserve mention for their advice, assistance, and friendship. My student Michael Kocorowski encouraged and provoked me into beginning this dictionary. Certamen players Michael Fleisch, James Ruel, Jeff Tudor, and Ryan Thom were inspirations. Sue Smith provided advice. James Radtke, James Beaudoin, Richard Hallberg, Sylvester Kreilein, and James Wilkinson assisted with words from modern foreign languages. Without the advice of these and many others this dictionary could not have been compiled. Lastly I thank all my colleagues and students at Marquette University High School who have made my teaching career a joy. Basic sources: American College Dictionary (ACD) American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (AHD) Oxford Dictionary of English Etymology (ODEE) Oxford English Dictionary (OCD) Webster’s International Dictionary (eds. 2, 3) (W2, W3) Liddell and Scott (LS) Lewis and Short (LS) Oxford Latin Dictionary (OLD) Schaffer: Greek Derivative Dictionary, Latin Derivative Dictionary In addition many other sources were consulted; numerous etymology texts and readers were helpful. Zeno’s Word Frequency guide assisted in determining the relative importance of words. However, all judgments (and errors) are finally mine.

  • Supines, Gerunds, Gerundives, Periphrastics
    Horribile Dictu! Supines, Gerunds, Gerundives, and Periphrastics GERUNDS: Gerunds are verbal nouns, and they only show up in four forms. (Latin uses the infinitive for a nominative verbal noun, so the gerund doesn’t exist in the nominative.) They have no nominative, and they have no plurals. They are always neuter and are translated as “__ing”. Gerunds inspire more fear than they deserve. In fact, the only really fancy thing a Gerund can do is express purpose when in the accusative and paired with “ad”: ad audiendum aderant, “They were there for the purpose of listening,” or in better English, “they were there to listen.” The rest of the time, translate a gerund as you would any noun in its case. Summary of the uses of gerunds in their cases: - Accusative: The accusative of a gerund often follows a preposition, usually ad, usually expressing purpose. - Ablative: The ablative either follows a preposition taking the ablative, or else it expresses instrument or cause, like any noun in the ablative. - Dative: The dative works like any dative noun: Par est disserendo, he is equal to arguing. - Genitive: The genitive often describes abstract nouns, i.e., ars scribendi, the art of writing. GERUNDIVES: Gerundives are really future passive participles. They decline like “bonus.” They are verbal adjectives, always passive in meaning. They show necessity, obligation, or propriety. If you put the gerundive with a form of sum, you get the meaning of “ought to be …,” and this construction gets its own name, the dreaded “Passive Periphrastic Construction.” All this means is that it is a gerundive with a form of sum, and it expresses obligation.

  • Dennis Wegner University of Wuppertal
    The exceptional status of the Swedish supine: on the parametric variation of past participial (non-)identity* Dennis Wegner University of Wuppertal Abstract While Germanic (and Romance) languages generally resort to one and the same participle for the formation of passive and perfect periphrases, Swedish is the odd man out in the Germanic paradigm. It employs a supine that is morphologically distinct from the past participle. The fact that this form allows for the formation of synthetic passives, occurs in the context of finite HAVE- omission, and is restricted to core verbal distributions suggests that the formal non-identity is mirrored by substantially distinct grammatical features. To be precise, the supine may autonomously license an external argument as well as introduce relevant temporal properties, two properties that are associated with HAVE in languages employing just a single past participle. This case of non-identity may eventually be related to the opposing poles of identity in the context of distinct auxiliaries, on the one hand, and non-identity with a single auxiliary (BE in Slavic languages like Bulgarian), on the other. The observation that there are Slavic languages (e.g. Kashubian) that lose their substantial distinction once a HAVE-perfect is grammaticalised points to a parametric correlation: whenever a given language resorts to participial periphrases to form the perfect and the passive, a distinction has to be encoded on distinct participial forms or on distinct auxiliaries, but not on both. 1 Introduction A striking similarity of Germanic and Romance languages is that they employ one and the same morphological exponent for the formation of passive as well as perfect(ive) participles (consider e.g.

  • Caesar Selections
    Grammatical Appendix from Caesar: Selections fr om his Commentarii De Bello Gallico Introduction Th is Appendix is a revision of the one that bears the same title in Arthur Tappan Walker’s Caesar’s Gallic War with Introduction, Notes, Vocabulary, and Grammatical Appendix (Chicago and New York: Scott Foresman and Company, 1907), pp. 424–528. Examples derive primarily from Caesar’s Commentariī, but a few derive from Cicero. Refer- ences to Caesar provide book, chapter, and verse: 1.1.1 would, for example, refer to the fi rst sentence of Caesar’s Dē bellō Gallicō. Examples from Caesar’s other works include the title and, if from Cicero, name and title. Pronunciation Quantity of Vowels 1. A vowel is usually short: a. Before another vowel or before h; as ineō, nihil. b. Before nd and nt; as in laudandus, laudant. c. In words with more than one syllable, before any fi nal consonant other than s; as in laudem, laudat. (But compare laudās.) 2. A vowel is long: a. Before nf, ns, nx, and nct; as in īnferō, cōnsul, iūnxī, iūnctum. b. When it results from contraction; as in īsset, from iisset. 3. A vowel is usually long: a. In one syllable words (monosyllables) not ending in b, d, l, m, or t; as in mē, hīc (but compare ab and ad where the vowels are short). Pronunciation of Vowels 4. In classical Latin pronunciation, long vowels, whether they were accented or not, were supposed to receive twice the time given to the pronunciation of short vowels. In English, we generally give more time only to the vowels in accented syllables.

  • Unit 5: Participles
    Foreign Language Brunswick School Department Latin 2 Unit 5: Participles Participles are verbal adjectives, which express the actions of the Essential verb in a phrase rather than a clause. Participles modify a noun Understandings which is performing the verbal action (present active or future active) or is being acted on (perfect passive), and agree with their noun in gender, case, and number. Essential What do participles do in English and Latin? Questions Participles are formed from stems of verbs, and then fall into either the first/second or the third declension endings. Participles in Latin frequently replace entire clauses. Essential The ablative absolute allows the Romans to express disconnected Knowledge clauses as a linked phrase. The future passive participle is used idiomatically in Latin to express the English gerund, and also to express necessity (passive periphrastic). Terms: Vocabulary o participle, verbal adjective, ablative absolute, gerund, gerundive, supine, passive periphrastic Form and translate all tenses and voices or participles. Essential Recognize and translate all uses of participles (adjectival, replacing Skills a clause, ablative absolute, supine, gerund, gerundive, passive periphrastic) World Languages A.
