Grammar Appendix, Latin Forms and Phrases in English, Latin Songs grammar Appendix Pronunciation Vowels In Latin, as in English, the vowels are a,e,i,o,u.1 At one time the English vowels were pronounced like the Latin vowels, but the pronunciation of English has changed greatly. In French, Spanish, Italian, German, and other languages that have adopted the Latin alphabet, the vowels are still pronounced very much as in Latin. Each of the Latin vowels may be pronounced long or short, the differ- ence being one of time. This is called quantity. There is also a difference of sound between the long and the short vowels, except a. This is called quality. The pronunciation is approximately as follows. LONG SHORT LONG AND SHORT ¤ as in father a as first a in aha Martha (¤, a˘) ± as in they or a in late e as in let lateness (±, e˘) ¬ as in police or ea in seat i as in sit seasick (¬, ˘)ı ß as in note o as in for phonograph (ß, o˘) ¥ as in rule or oo in fool u as in full two-footed (¥, u˘) In this book, long vowels are regularly marked with a long mark, called a macron (may´kron) ¯; short vowels are usually unmarked, but ˘ is some- times used. Be careful. It is very important to distinguish the sounds of the long and short vowels. To confuse ¬ and ˘ı , or ± and e˘ in Latin is as bad a mistake as for a person to say, I heard the din in the hall, instead of dean, or I forgot the debt, instead of date. The English equivalents of e and o are only approximate. Avoid pro- nouncing o˘ like o in not or in note; it sounds much like aw. Quantity of Vowels The quantity and quality of vowels must be learned as part of the word. There are, however, a few general rules. 1. A vowel is usually short before another vowel or -h (because h is weakly sounded). 2. A vowel is short before -nt, -nd, final -m and -t, and usually final -r. 3. A vowel is long before -nf, and -ns. 1 And sometimes y (pronounced like French u). English too uses y as a vowel, as in by, but the y in yes, young, et al., is a consonant. 488 grammar Appendixp Diphthongs The first three of the following diphthongs (two vowels making one sound) are the most common ones. ae like ai in aisle ei like ei in freight au like ou in out eu like eh-oo (pronounced quickly) oe like oi in oil ui like oo-ee (pronounced quickly); only in cui and huic. Consonants All letters other than vowels and diphthongs are consonants. The Latin consonants have, generally speaking, the same sounds as in English. The following differences, however, should be noted. b before s or t has the sound of p. c is always hard as in cat, never soft as in city. g is always hard as in go, never soft as in gem. i (consonant) has the sound of y in year. i is a consonant between vowels and at the beginning of a word before a vowel. Some books use j for consonant i. s always has the sound of s in sin; never of s in these. t always has the sound of t in ten; never of t in motion. v has the sound of w in will. x has the sound of x in extra. (ch=k; ph=p; th=t) Doubled consonants are pronounced separately: an-nus . In both English and Latin the combination qu forms a single consonant (kw), and the u is not counted as a vowel. Occasionally in Latin gu (gw) and su (sw) are treated the same way, as in English anguish and suave. English Pronunciation of Latin Latin words that have become thoroughly English should be pro- nounced as English; for example in terra firma, the i is pronounced as in mirth, not as in miracle; in alumni, the i is pronounced as in mile; in alumnae, the ae is pronounced as e in even. Usage varies, especially in the pronunciation of anglicized proper names. Latin o˘ is often lengthened to ß in English, e.g. bonus from Latin bo˘nus. Other examples: bona fide (bohna f¬dee or bohna f¬d [¬ = Eng. eye]), ex officio (eks ohfishioh), modus operandi (mohdus operand¬), sine die (s¬nee d¬ee), vice versa (v¬sa vursa or v¬z vursa), viva voce (veeva vohsee or veeva vohchay [Italian]), Cato (Kaytoh instead of Katoh), Manilius (Man¬lius or Manilius). Syllables Every Latin word has as many syllables as it has vowels or diphthongs: vir-t¥-te, proe-li-um. grammar Appendix 489 A single consonant between two vowels or diphthongs is pronounced with the second: f¬-li-us, a-git. Likewise, the double consonant x [=ks] is preferably joined to the following vowel: d¥-x¬. Compound words are divided into their component parts and are exceptions to this rule: ad-es. When two or more consonants occur between vowels or diphthongs, the division is made before the last consonant: por-tus, v¬nc-t¬, an-nus. An exception to this rule occurs whenever a stop (p, b, t, d, c, g) is followed by a liquid (l, r), in which case the stop combines with the liquid and both are pronounced with the second vowel: p¥-bli-cus, cas-tra. The next to the last syllable of a word is called the penult (Latin paene, almost; ultima, last); the one before the penult (i.e., the third from the end) is called the antepenult. Quantity of Syllables Some syllables of course take longer to pronounce than others, just as some vowels are longer than others. 1. A syllable is naturally long if it contains a long vowel or a diphthong: f¤-mae. 2. A syllable is long by position if it contains a short vowel followed by two or more consonants or the double consonant x (=ks): sil-v¬s, por-tß. Note. Exception is made in the case of a stop followed by a liquid. H is so weakly sounded that it does not help make a syllable long. Caution. Distinguish carefully between long syllable and long vowel; in e˘xe˘mplum the first two syllables are long, though the vowels are short. Accent The accented syllable of a word is the one that is pronounced with more stress or emphasis than the others; so in the word an´swer, the accent is on the first syllable. In Latin the accent is easily learned according to fixed rules. 1. Words of two syllables are accented on the first: fr¤´ter. 2. Words of three or more syllables are accented on the penult if it is long, otherwise on the antepenult: l±g¤´tus, exem´plum; d¬´ce˘re, sı˘´mı˘lis. Note that the accented syllable is not necessarily long. Basic Grammatical Terms The material given here may be reviewed in connection with the lessons. For those who prefer to review basic grammar before beginning the lessons, a number of explanations are given here that are also in the body of the textbook. Teachers can easily devise English exercises for drill with classes that need it, or the sentences on these pages may be used for that purpose. 490 grammar Appendix p The Sentence: Subject and Predicate A sentence is a group of words that completely expresses a thought. Every sentence consists of two parts—the subject, about which something is said, and the predicate, which says something about the subject. The sailor (subject) saved Nauta puellam serv¤vit. the girl (predicate). A subject or predicate is said to be modified by those words that affect or limit its meaning. Parts of Speech The words of most languages are divided according to their use into eight classes called parts of speech. These are: nouns, adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, pronouns, verbs, prepositions, and interjections. Nouns A noun (from Latin nßmen, name) is a word that names a person, place, thing, or concept: Anna, Anna; island, ¬nsula; letter, littera; liberty, l¬bert¤s. Nouns may be classified as: 1. common (applies to any one of a group): city, urbs; girl, puella. 2. proper (applies to a particular one of a group and is always capitalized): Rome, Rßma; Julia, I¥lia. Pronouns A pronoun (Latin prß, for; nßmen, name) is a word used in place of a noun. The noun whose place is taken by a pronoun is called an antecedent (Latin ante, before; c±dß, go). 1. Personal pronouns distinguish the three persons: the person speaking: I, ego; we, nßs–first person; the person spoken to: you, t¥, vßs–second person; the person or thing spoken of: he, is; she, ea; it, id; they, e¬–third person. 2. Interrogative pronouns are used to ask questions: who?, quis?; what?, quid? 3. Relative pronouns relate to a preceding word (antecedent) and join to it a dependent clause: who, which, what, that, qui, quae, quod. 4. Demonstrative pronouns point out persons or objects definitely—often accompanied with a gesture: this, hic; that, ille; these, h¬; those, ill¬. Adjectives An adjective (Latin adiect¬vus, added to) is used to describe a noun or pronoun or to limit its meaning. grammar Appendix 491 1. Descriptive adjectives are either common or proper: good, bonus; Roman, Rßm¤nus. Proper adjectives begin with a capital letter. 2. Limiting adjectives can be divided into six groups. a. Article—definite: the; indefinite: a, an. There is no definite or indefi- nite article in Latin. b. Numerals—cardinals: one, two, three, etc., ¥nus, duo, tr±s, etc.; ordi- nals: first, second, third, etc., pr¬mus, secundus, tertius, etc.

  • Myth, Power, and the Other: the Shared Rhetoric of Empire Between the Classical Mediterranean and Victorian Britain
    Myth, Power, and the Other: The Shared Rhetoric of Empire Between the Classical Mediterranean and Victorian Britain By: Cara Redalen Humanities, University of Colorado Boulder Defense Date: April 9, 2019 Committee: Thesis Advisor: Dr. AnnJeanette Wiese, Department of Humanities Dr. Paul Gordon, Department of Humanities Dr. Elspeth Dusinberre, Department of Classics ABSTRACT This thesis traces the continuity of rhetoric concerning empire from ancient Greece, to Rome, and to Victorian Britain. Through examining theory, literature, and visual arts, this thesis will unpack both ancient and Victorian forms of representation and rhetoric. It charts the development of these forms of representation across centuries, exposing a persistence of thought and ultimately arguing for the force of this rhetorical tradition for defining societal status and bolstering imperial power. The thesis is divided into two main areas of focus: The Creation of the Other and Myth. The Creation of the Other section examines literature to demonstrate how Greek, Roman, and British thinkers created an image of the Other, defined themselves in relation to the Other and in relation to the past. It then examines how the respective societies, especially Rome and Britain, used this view of themselves to bolster their superiority and support their political hegemony. Following this section is an examination of the power of myth to structure a human understanding of the world, formulate social institutions, and structure reality. Within this section, the thesis deconstructs the Augustan imperial myth, looking at how Rome harkened to a glorious mythological past and revived Classical Greek artistic conventions in its art and architecture in order to imbue its empire with glory and grandeur.

  • Always Look on the Bright Side of Death Violence, Death, and Supernatural Transformation in Ovid’S Fasti
    ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF DEATH VIOLENCE, DEATH, AND SUPERNATURAL TRANSFORMATION IN OVID’S FASTI A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY ANNA EVERETT BEEK IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY CHRISTOPHER NAPPA, ADVISER FEBRUARY, 2015 copyright 2015 Anna Everett Beek ABSTRACT Ovid’s Fasti, in its elaboration of mythic stories and the aetia of Roman religious practices, exhibits a marked correlation between violence and supernatural transformation: people who experience acts of intense violence such as rape, assault, and bodily mutilation are transformed by the experience into gods or other supernatural beings. In fact, within the Fasti, nearly all apotheoses have an episode of violence as a catalyst, and moreover nearly all violence results in transformation. Although rape (and some other forms of violence) in the Fasti has been examined extensively by other scholars, previous studies have focused on the perpetration of violence, while this dissertation examines the consequences of the event, how the victims fail to re-integrate to society and are removed by being ostracized, exiled, killed, transformed, or even apotheosed because a return to their former lives is impossible. Some of the prominent examples treated are Romulus, Anna Perenna, Ino, Callisto, and Lara. Special attention is paid to how this overarching pattern differentiates the Fasti from Ovid’s best known collection of mythic transformation stories, the Metamorphoses. The Metamorphoses does provide several episodes of apotheosis (such as those of Hercules, Aeneas, Romulus, and Julius Caesar), and those episodes share certain structural elements that recur in similar episodes in the Fasti: in many cases, the character in question is put in life-threatening danger, which is averted at the last minute by divine intervention and transformation into divinity.

  • Dionysius of Halicarnassus and the 'Founders' of Rome
    Dionysius of Halicarnassus and the ‘Founders’ of Rome: Depicting Characters in the Roman Antiquities by Beatrice Poletti A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Classical Languages Department of History and Classics University of Alberta © Beatrice Poletti, 2018 ABSTRACT In my thesis, I analyze Dionysius’s presentation of some of the most celebrated characters of Rome’s early past: Aeneas, Romulus, Numa Pompilius, L. Junius Brutus, and M. Furius Camillus. The thesis is composed of Five Chapters, an introduction, and a conclusion. In Chapter 1, I describe the background to Dionysius’s arrival in Rome, focusing on the literary milieu of the capital. In Chapter 2, I discuss Dionysius’s work and the ideas underlying the conception of the Roman Antiquities. In Chapter 3, I examine Dionysius’s account of the Aeneas legend. I deal with the legends of Romulus and Numa, respectively, at Chapters 4.1.1 and 4.2, and 4.1.2 and 4.3. My analysis of the stories of L. Junius Brutus and M. Furius Camillus occupies Chapters 5.1 and 5.2. I have chosen these characters for my study because of their significance in the Romans’ conception of their early past and their association with key events and institutions of Roman history, as well as the political meaning which their figures eventually acquired. By Dionysius’s time, all these characters (with the exception of L. Brutus) had come to embody the qualities and political virtues of the princeps. Aeneas was the progenitor of the Roman race as well as Augustus’s personal ancestor through his adoption into the gens Julia.

  • The Materiality of Magic
    DIETRICH BOSCHUNG AND JAN N. BREMMER (EDS.) THE MATERIALITY OF MAGIC MORPHOMATA The Materiality of Magic is an exciting new book about an aspect of magic that is usually neglected. In the last two decades we have had many books and proceedings of conferences on the concept of magic itself as well as its history, formulas and incantations in antiquity, both in East and West. Much less attention, however, has been paid to the material that was used by the magicians for their conjuring activities. This is the first book of its kind that focuses on the material aspects of magic, such as amulets, drawings, figurines, gems, grimoires, rings, and voodoo dolls. The practice of magic required a specialist expertise that knew how to handle material such as lead, gold, stones, papyrus and terra cotta—material that sometimes was used for specific genres of magic. That is why we present in this well illustrated collection of studies new insights on the materiality of magic in antiquity by studying both the materials used for magic as well as the books in which the expertise was preserved. The main focus of the book is on antiquity, but we complement and contrast our material with examples ranging from the Ancient Near East, via early modern Europe, to the present time. BOSCHUNG, BREMMER (EDS.) – THE MATERIALITY OF MAGIC MORPHOMATA EDITED BY GÜNTER BLAMBERGER AND DIETRICH BOSCHUNG VOLUME 20 EDITED BY DIETRICH BOSCHUNG AND JAN N.

Drowning in Ancient Greek History and Mythology Stathis Avramidis The purpose of this article was to describe the prevalence of drowning as a cause of death in the mythology and ancient Greek history and under what circumstances it occurred. From all the names and references (n = 40,000) recorded in a database of the ancient and mythological Greek literature (Devouros, 2007), the number of drowning incidents was identified: n = 37, 17 males (45.94%), 6 females (16.22%), and 14 reports of multiple casualties (37.84%). The review of the database confirmed that drowning was attributed to “acts of demigod” but was more often due to human accidental submersion or to “acts of God” such as disasters like heavy rain, flooding, or tsunamis.
