Aeneid 7 Page 1 the BIRTH of WAR -- a Reading of Aeneid 7 Sara Mack
Birth of War – Aeneid 7 page 1 THE BIRTH OF WAR -- A Reading of Aeneid 7 Sara Mack In this essay I will touch on aspects of Book 7 that readers are likely either to have trouble with (the Muse Erato, for one) or not to notice at all (the founding of Ardea is a prime example), rather than on major elements of plot. I will also look at some of the intertexts suggested by Virgil's allusions to other poets and to his own poetry. We know that Virgil wrote with immense care, finishing fewer than three verses a day over a ten-year period, and we know that he is one of the most allusive (and elusive) of Roman poets, all of whom wrote with an eye and an ear on their Greek and Roman predecessors. We twentieth-century readers do not have in our heads what Virgil seems to have expected his Augustan readers to have in theirs (Homer, Aeschylus, Euripides, Apollonius, Lucretius, and Catullus, to name just a few); reading the Aeneid with an eye to what Virgil has "stolen" from others can enhance our enjoyment of the poem. Book 7 is a new beginning. So the Erato invocation, parallel to the invocation of the Muse in Book 1, seems to indicate. I shall begin my discussion of the book with an extended look at some of the implications of the Erato passage. These difficult lines make a good introduction to the themes of the book as a whole (to the themes of the whole second half of the poem, in fact). -

Virgil, Aeneid 11 (Pallas & Camilla) 1–224, 498–521, 532–96, 648–89, 725–835 G
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. -

AP/IB Summer Preparation for Advanced Latin I. the Single
AP/IB Summer Preparation for Advanced Latin I. The single easiest and most effective way to be prepared for an Advanced Latin class, and, by extension, an AP or IB exam, is to KNOW VOCABULARY!!!!!! Attached are two lists: one of vocab words in the first six books of the Aeneid occurring 15+ times, and another of those occurring 9-14. They should be memorized ASAP including principle parts, gender, etc. There are dozens of websites devoted to the Aeneid and vocab. Google some and get started. AP sells vocab cards (laminating is a good way to avoid ruining your vocab cards while at the pool/beach). These will constitute the first few weeks’ vocab quizzes. II. The other essential is an intimate knowledge of the events, personages, and themes of the Aeneid, especially the first six books. Attached is a people, places, things review over which there will be a summative test at the end of the third week of classes. III. Rhetorical Devices: you must learn these. The ppt. is due the first full week of classes. Some (possibly) useful links: http://nodictionaries.com/vergil/aeneid-1/372-386 http://virgilius.org/ap_vergil_links.html Vergil vocabulary WORDS OCCURRING FIFTEEN TIMES OR MORE a, ab from, away from, by meus my, mine ac same as atque – and, and also miser wretched, miserable, poor, sad ad to, toward, near, at, by moenia walls, ramparts; walled city Aeneas hero of the Aeneid multus much; many (pl.); great, high, agmen army (on the march), column, train, abundant formation, rank, line natus born, made, destined, intended; a son aliquis someone, -
