Latin 4

This subject is designed for students who commenced the Latin stream with some previous knowledge of Latin (VCE level or equivalent) and have completed Latin 3. Students read an extensive extract (usually a book) from a Latin epic poem, such as Virgil's Aeneid , Ovid's Metamorphoses , Lucan's Bellum Civile , or Lucretius’ philosophical epic De Rerum Natura . In addition, work is undertaken on grammar and syntax to revise, consolidate and extend students’ knowledge of the language.
