1. How does Caesar attempt to set up an overview of Gaul for his Roman readers?

1. Caesar tries to paint a visual picture for the readers. Since Romans aren't with him, they can't see what he is trying to do for Rome. He tells of the different parts of Gaul that he must and plans to conquer for the empire (Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres). He further helps the readers by saying that there are three different groups in the area: the Belgians (incolunt Belgae), the Aquitani (alias Aquitani), and the Celts (tertiam...Celtae).

How many partitive genitive nouns (including substantive adjectives) are there in the following? poetae libellus lepidissimus omnium erat, quod poeta optimus erat, et unum duorum libellorum qui doctissimi erant illius aevi scripserat.

2

2. What important cultural facts does Caesar perceive? How could these impact his mission and intentions?

2. Caesar sees that the Belgians, Aquitani, and Celts all differ in their language, customs, and bills or laws they have, as seen in the second sentence (lingua, institutis, legibus...differunt). This makes it harder for him to conquer Gaul as there are such big differences. He cannot just use the same tactics for the entire area because of these distinct differences. These differences add to the difficulty he will have in conquering Gaul, therefore making him seem that much more brave and strong as a military and political figure.

3. What geographical boundaries does he mention? Explain how these could be helpful to Caesar or not?

3. He mentions several rivers such as the Garonne, the Marne, and the Seine (last sentence, line 3, Garumna flumen...Matrona et Sequana). These rivers serve as territorial boundaries and divides between the groups (last sentence, line 3, Gallos ab Aquita3. He mentions several rivers such as the Garonne, the Marne, and the Seine (last sentence, line 3, Garumna flumen...Matrona et Sequana). These rivers serve as territorial boundaries and divides between the groups (last sentence, line 3, Gallos ab Aquitanis...a Belgis...dividit). These rivers could help Caesar and his legions travel faster up and down the "partes", and could be used as a barrier or stalemate between the two during fighting. The river could allow Caesar to rest on one side while a Gallic group is on the other. However, it could also be an obstacle and hard for his troops to cross if he or his troops aren't used to them. The groups may be more acclimated to navigating the rivers and outmaneuver Caesar.

What are the most likely dates for Catullus' life?

87-55 BCE

What is a good context clue that you can use to tell whether a verb in a sentence is passive or deponent?

A deponent verb can have an accusative direct object Also, a real passive verb can have an ablative of agent, and is more likely to have an ablative of instrument than a deponent.

arma gravi numero violentaque bella parabam edere, materia conveniente modis. par erat inferior versus; risisse Cupido dicitur atque unum surripuisse pedem. Pedem at the end of line four refers to

A metrical foot

AND HAVING BEEN SILENCED THEMSELVES, WHO HEARS NO BAD, CHOOSES, MY PUNISHMENT CALMED BY A LIGHTENED CAESAR. WE TOO, WHATEVER WILL BE, THAT IS NOT MISERABLE, ARE ASKED, WHO WILL ASK THE GODS TO SOOTHE THE MISERY; WHATEVER HE WISHES, THEY HAVE THOUGHT: WITH THE EMPEROR'S ANGER HAVING BEEN REMOVED GIVE ME THE POWER TO DIE IN MY NATIVE COUNTRY/RESIDENCE. Ovid asks the Gods to have mercy on him and soothe the misery (placatos miseris qui volet esse deos) and to give him the right to die in his native country of residence (sedibus in patriis det mihi posse mori).

neve liturarum pudeat; qui viderit illas, de lacrimis factas sentiat esse meis. vade, liber, verbisque meis loca grata saluta: contingam certe quo licet illa pede.

Many kinds of Latin poetry, such as the poems of Catullus, love elegies, and odes, are short poems that would not have been published on their own. How were they arranged?

Artistically, but not in any kind of chronology The order of Latin poems doesn't vary from manuscript to manuscript and clearly has some significance. Think about this next chapter--you will be reading Poem Number One from a collection. Why is it first?

In poem 1, how does Catullus describe his own poetry?

As trifles or nonsense

parva quidem, stipulis et canna tecta palustri, sed pia Baucis anus parilique aetate Philemon illā sunt annis iuncti iuvenalibus, Choose the answer that best express the meaning of these verses.

Baucis and Phileon are the same age and live in a small house. They have lived here together since they were young

Something quite unusual happens next. What do they see? What do they do? frondere Philemona Baucis, Baucida conspexit senior frondere Philemon. 715 iamque super geminos crescente cacumine vultus mutua, dum licuit, reddebant dicta "vale" que "o coniunx" dixere simul, simul abdita texit ora frutex:

Baucis saw Philemon put forth leaves, Old Philemon saw Baucis put forth leaves. Already the top is sprouting over the two both faces, while it was allowed, returned the words "goodbye" and "Oh spouse" they have said simultaneously, the shrub has covered them at the same time hiding their mouths They see each other start putting forth leaves and sprouting leaves. They say goodbye together as they are covered in the shrub intertwined together.

Which Co-Consul did Caesar so overshadow that the consulship was called the consulship of Julius and Caesar?

Bibulus

Which Roman province did Catullus travel to?

Bithynia

The inhabitants point out the trees because the trunks have grown together. How does our narrator, Lelex come to know this story? ostendit adhuc Thyneius illic incola de gemino vicinos corpore truncos. 720 haec mihi non vani (neque erat, cur fallere vellent) narravere senes; equidem pendentia vidi serta super ramos ponensque recentia dixi

Bithynia residents still show the neighboring trunks from the two bodies there. Old people have truly told this (and not yet was, for what reason to wish to lie); Indeed I saw garlands hanging above branches just placing some I said Lelex knows this story from old men truthfully telling it.

at vos interea venite in ignem, pleni ruris et inficetiarum. annales Volusi, cacata carta.

But meanwhile you come into the fire Full of country lands (countryside) and crudities Annals of Volusius, defecated paper Aside from cacata carta, he says "pleni ruris et inficetiarum" which means that Volusius's writings are full of countryside and crudities. Full of countryside can also be taken as boring writings or plain writings. When he mentions crudities, Catullus is saying that Volusius's writings are crude, unrefined, rudimentary, or undeveloped. In that line Catullus essentially calls Volusius's annals boring, plain, crude, unrefined, and rudimentary, indicating that Volusius doesn't belong in Catullus's new-style poets group

In Line 19, to whom does eius refer?

Caesar

imperat Caesar ne milites Pompeiani interficiantur.

Caesar commands that the soldiers from Pompey's army not be killed. negative indirect command, primary sequence

In lines 16-19 Caesar discusses three essentials for the success of this undertaking.

Caesar discusses purchasing the greatest number of beasts of burden and wagons (iumentorum et carrorum...coemere), make their sowings as large/great as possible (sementes...maximas), and establish peace and friendship with the nearest states (cum proximis civitatibus pacem et amicitiam confirmare).

bellum civile gerendo Caesar dictator factus erat.

Caesar had been made dictator by waging civil war

Which of the following expressions conveys Catullus's message to Lesbia in this poem?

Carpe Diem!

Ille mi par esse deo videtur, ille, si fas est, superare divos, qui sedens adversus identidem te spectat et audit dulce ridentem, misero quod omnis eripit sensus mihi: nam simul te, Lesbia, aspexi, nihil est super mi vocis in ore, lingua sed torpet, tenuis sub artus flamma demanat, sonitu suopte tintinant aures, gemina teguntur lumina nocte. Otium, Catulle, tibi molestum est: otio exsultas nimiumque gestis: otium et reges prius et beatas perdidit urbes. This poem, Catullus 51, is an adaption of a poem by the Greek poet, Sappho. What is one reason Catullus may have chosen this poem?

Catullus and his friends liked all things Greek and like to use Greek words and references in their poems.

Vivamus mea Lesbia, atque amemus, rumoresque senum severiorum omnes unius aestimemus assis! soles occidere et redire possunt: nobis cum semel occidit brevis lux, 5 nox est perpetua una dormienda. In lines two and three,

Catullus suggests that they (Catullus and Lesbia) shouldn't worry about what the old men say.

Choose the best translation: Cicero rem publicam servare conabatur eloquenter dicendo.

Cicero kept trying to protect the Republic by speaking eloquently. gerund acting as ablative of instrument

The author implicitly compares and contrasts Cicero's and Ovid's styles. What inference can you draw from the comparison?

Cicero's sentences were much longer than Ovid's on average "Cleverness" and "point" tend to come across better in shorter sentences, and "rolling" and "copiousness" are pretty close to being euphemisms for "longwindedness".

bellum civile Caesari gerendum est.

Civil war must be waged by Caesar

Which of these adjectives would the author think was appropriate for Ovid?

Clever/witty

Find the two vocative nouns in poem 1 and quote them here in Latin exactly from the poem.

Elegiac Couplet

The Amores are best described as

Entertaining stories of love and romance.

Cenabis bene, mi Fabulle, apud me paucis, si tibi di favent, diebus, si tecum attuleris bonam atque magnam cenam, non sine candida puella et vino et sale et omnibus cachinnis. Catullus asks Fabullus to bring all of the following except

Gaul as a whole is divided into three parts, one of which the Belgians inhabit, another the Aquitani, third which in their own language are Celts, called Gauls in ours. All these differ in language, customs, and bills (laws) between themselves. The Garonne river divides Gaul from the Aquitani, and the Marne and Seine from the Belgians.

Galli

Gauls

In Line 8 to what does eo oppido refer?

Genava

In lines 15-16, we learn that Caear hurries to

Geneva

Which is NOT a valid way to tell gerunds apart from gerundives in the context of a sentence?

Gerundives are 1st/2nd declension but gerunds are 4th. Both gerunds and gerundives are 1st/2nd declension, though gerunds' endings are restricted because they are all neuter gender and have no nominatives or plurals. CAN TELL: no masculine or feminine gerunds no nominative gerunds gerundives are adjectives and so will be found in agreement with nouns

arma gravi numero violentaque bella parabam edere, materia conveniente modis. par erat inferior versus; risisse Cupido dicitur atque unum surripuisse pedem. As the Amores begins, Ovid tells us that he was preparing to do which of the following.

He was prepared to write about weapons and violent wars in meter appropriate for a serious topic.

His rebus adducti, et auctoritate Orgetorigis permoti constituerunt ea quae ad proficiscendum pertinerent comparare, iumentorum et carrorum quam maximum numerum coemere, sementes quam maximas facere,ut in itinere copia frumenti suppeteret, cum proximis civitatibus pacem et amicitiam confirmare.

Having been led by these conditions, and influenced by the authority of Orgetorix, they have decided to pair the things which pertained to their departure, to purchase the greatest number of beasts of burden and wagons, to make their sowings as large as possible, so that an abundance of grain might be available on the way, to establish peace and friendship with the nearest states.

Nulli se dicit mulier mea nubere malle quam mihi, non si se Iuppiter ipse petat. dicit: sed mulier cupido quod dicit amanti, in vento et rapida scribere oportet aqua In poem 70, Catulllus reveals that

He cannot trust everything that Lesbia says Her words flow away like water in a stream.

How might we best describe Catullus' attitude to Caesar after reading poem 93?

He doesn't care for him.

What does Catullus hope will happen to his book?

He hopes it will last for more than one age.

Ovid was saddened and inspired to write the Tristia because

He was exiled from Rome.

sex mihi surgat opus numeris, in quinque residat: ferrea cum vestris bella valete modis! cingere litoreā flaventia tempora myrto, Musa per undenos emodulanda pedes! As the poem ends, Ovid says goodbye to was indicating that

In lines 4-5 we learn that rivers

Ille mi par esse deo videtur, ille, si fas est, superare divos, qui sedens adversus identidem te spectat et audit dulce ridentem, misero quod omnis eripit sensus mihi: nam simul te, Lesbia, aspexi, nihil est super mi vocis in ore, lingua sed torpet, tenuis sub artus flamma demanat, sonitu suopte tintinant aures, gemina teguntur lumina nocte. Otium, Catulle, tibi molestum est: otio exsultas nimiumque gestis: otium et reges prius et beatas perdidit urbes. This may be a description of the first time Catullus sees Lesbia. In the first stanza, Catullus is observing the man with whom Lesbia is talking. In the second stanza, he is observing Lesbia. In the third, he is describing his own reaction. Summarize what is happening in each of the three sections.

In the first stanza, Catullus says that the man Lesbia is talking with seems equal to a god and may even surpass the gods. The man looks at Lesbia and listens to her. In the second stanza, Lesbia's laugh essentially stops Catullus in his tracks, makes him breathless and entrances him. He is so fascinated with Lesbia that he has no feelings left and left speechless. In the third stanza, he cannot speak and is just paralyzed by Lesbia. He says that there's a fire through him and his limbs, his ears ring, and there is darkness over his eyes. In the fourth stanza, he talks on how leisure is trouble for Catullus and how it has ruined kings and prosperous cities before.

Iuppiter huc specie mortali cumque parente venit Atlantiades positis caducifer alis. line 626-627 Atlantiades means grandson of Atlas. Mercury is the son of Jupiter and Maia, a daughter of Atlas. Positis is best translated put aside. Mercury couldn't appear as a mortal with his wings, could he? Select the answer that best translates these verses.

In the form of a mortal, Jupiter came here and, with his parent came, Mercury, the caduceus bearer, with his wings put aside.

quare aut hendecasyllabos trecentos exspecta, aut mihi linteum remitte, quod me non movet aestimatione, verum est mnemosynum mei sodalis. nam sudaria Saetaba ex Hiberis miserunt mihi muneri Fabullus et Veranius: haec amem necesse est ut Veraniolum meum et Fabullum. The napkin is valuable because

It is a symbol of the friendship Catullus has with Veranius and Fabullus

non certus est quo modo magnum incendium Romae Neronis tempore accendatur

It is unclear how the great fire of Rome in Nero's time was started. Quo modo (sometimes written as one word quomodo), though literally "in what way", frequently introduces an indirect question and works like English "how".

Why is it not normally possible to use a perfect or pluperfect subjunctive verb in a purpose or result clause?

It's illogical for a purpose or result to be earlier in time than the main clause

How would you explain the use of the infinitive "esse" in line 4 of poem 1? Pick the best answer.

It's infinitive used as the main verb within an indirect statement.

In the following English, if we were to translate it into Latin, what construction would we use for the verb? "Let them eat cake!"

Jussive Subjunctive

What is NOT a valid explanation for why "past tense" is never a correct answer to a Latin grammar question?

Latin doesn't meaningfully have the concept of "past v. present" like English does; all tenses are just relative to each other. "Relative tenses" are real Latin phenomena in some parts of the language, like subjunctives and participles, but Latin is perfectly capable of stating that an indicative verb is in the past!

Salve, nec minimo puella naso nec bello pede nec nigris ocellis nec longis digitis nec ore sicco nec sane nimis elegante lingua. In poem 43, Catullus compare a country girl to

Lesbia, his girlfriend

Let (those who) take care of the gods____________and those who worshiped the gods_______________________ "cura deum di sint, et, qui coluere, colantur."'

Let those who take care of the gods be gods and those who worshipped the gods be worshipped.

Vivamus, mea Lesbia, atque amemus, rumoresque senum severiorum omnes unius aestimemus assis! soles occidere et redire possunt: nobis cum semel occidit brevis lux, nox est perpetua una dormienda. The best translation of the first line of this poem is

Let us live, my Lesbia, and let us love

Choose the best translation of multae epistulae Ciceroni scribendae sunt.

Many letters must be written by Cicero. "Cicero must write many letters" is also generally considered a valid translation, though it is not literal because you have changed the passive structure of the sentence.

In Line 13 a.d. V Kal Apr. is in the month of

March

Metamorphoses

"Utinam pereat poeta pessimus!" Identify the mood of the verb pereat, and explain it.

Optative subjunctive (subjunctive of wish)

In lines 21-22 Orgetorix concerns himself with which one of these?

Orgetorix focuses on the third one, trying to form relations with the neighboring states (cum proximis civitatibus...amicitiam confirmare). He is chosen to be the ambassador to the other states (Ad eas res conficiendas Orgetorix deligitur).

nam, puto, sentirem, si quo temptarer amore - an subit et tecta callidus arte nocet? sic erit: haeserunt tenues in corde sagittae, et possessa ferus pectora versat Amor. Here Ovid compares Love to

NOT AN ARROW

There are an awful lot of picky and complicated terms for grammar in Latin. Where do they come from?

Native Latin speakers invented them to describe their own language, and they got pulled into English in translation-ese by scholars assuming everyone already knew some Latin.

In lines 7-9 to what lengths did the Helvetians have to proceed in order to attempt to bring Orgetorix to the court of justice?

Orgetorix gathered all of his people and family to come to support him while he pleads his case. Somehow they are able to rescue him as seen in line 6. In lines 7-9, it could be assumed that they were somewhat violent or at least threatening since the court had magistrates started getting their own men together from the country "multitudinemque hominum ex agris magistratus cogerent". They had to physically intimidate and challenge the state in an effort to bring Orgetorix justice.

How does Orgetorix go far beyond the simple establishment of friendly relations?

Once appointed ambassador, he convinces Casticus of the Sequani to "seize power" in his state, and also persuades Dumnorix of the Aedui to marry his (Orgetorix's) daughter as seen in lines 22-28 (In eo...in matrimonium dat). He also assures those states that he would get power and territory for them using his own resources because the Helvetii were the strongest of all three of them (lines 28-31).

nox est perpetua una dormienda. This is best translated

One eternal night must be slept

In lines 4-7, how powerful a man is Orgetorix shown to be and how does that aid him?

Orgetorix is shown to have a significant amount of power, wealth, influence, and authority to have about "milia decem" (ten thousand) of his "familiam" (family), "obaeratosque" (debtors), and "clientes" (clients) show up in support to hear him plead his case. This helps him because power can be seen in numbers and the sheer number of his supporters may intimidate and persuade the court to let him go. He later says that those are the reason he was able to be rescued from pleading his case line 6, "causam diceret se eripuit".

In line 1, Ea res refers to

Orgetorix's plan

arma gravi numero violentaque bella parabam edere, materia conveniente modis. par erat inferior versus; risisse Cupido dicitur atque unum surripuisse pedem. par erat inferior versus indicates

Originally, the lines of the poem were equal in respect to the metrical pattern.

Which of the following authors wrote during the "Augustan" period (i.e. during the reign of Augustus)?

Ovid Though he was quite a bit younger than most of the Augustan writers.

me miserum! certas habuit puer ille sagittas. 25 uror, et in vacuo pectore regnat Amor. From Ovid's reaction in line 25, we know that

Ovid has been struck by Cupid's arrow.

Ovidius puellam iterum rogabat num cras eum conveniret.

Ovid kept asking his girlfriend whether she would meet him tomorrow. indirect question

Choose the best translation: Ovidius carmina scribebat ad Romam redeundam.

Ovid kept writing poems in order to return to Rome. Ad frequently expresses some idea of purpose, not just position in space, in literary Latin.

Ovidius carmen nomine Metamorphoseon tam pulchrum scripsit ut per saecula multi id legerent.

Ovid wrote a poem called the Metamorphoses that was so beautiful that many people through the ages have read it.

In the following English, if we were to translate it into Latin, what kind of genitive would we use for the noun "students"? "The cleverest of the students earned the highest grade."

Partitive Genitive

Which of these descriptions would the author of the article think was true of the poems of Catullus and his friends?

Personal and self-expressive

What does Catullus say he has done to prepare his book for sharing with his friends?

Polished the edges of the scroll flat with dry pumice

MARRVCINE Asini, manu sinistra non belle uteris: in ioco atque vino tollis lintea neglegentiorum. hoc salsum esse putas? fugit te, inepte: quamvis sordida res et invenusta est. non credis mihi? crede Pollioni fratri, qui tua furta vel talento mutari velit: est enim leporum differtus puer ac facetiarum. Which brother does Catullus like? Which brother has urbanitias?

Pollio

Quintia formosa est multis. mihi candida, longa, recta est: haec ego sic singula confiteor. totum illud formosa nego: nam nulla venustas, nulla in tam magno est corpore mica salis. Lesbia formosa est, quae cum pulcerrima tota est, tum omnibus una omnis surripuit Veneres. Although Quintia is beautiful to some, she lacks a very important quality. What is it? Why is this significant to Catullus as a Poetae Novi?

Quintia has attractive features but "nam nulla venustas" which means "for no beauty/charm/elegance". Catullus says that she has so many beautiful qualities but has no charm or elegance because Lesbia stole all of that from all other women. Poetae Novi poetry has shorter, "finely crafted", and has more puns and allusions. This is significant because he wrote about his love life and showed the Roman life while being witty. This was a topic that was personal to him while being concise and to the point. Epic poems were longer and much more detailed.

Rhenus

Rhine River

Rhodanus

Rhone River

What social conditions led to the earliest preserved Latin literature being strongly based on Greek models?

Start with the perfect stem, then add future forms of sum as if they were endings

quare aut hendecasyllabos trecentos 10 exspecta, aut mihi linteum remitte, quod me non movet aestimatione, verum est mnemosynum mei sodalis. nam sudaria Saetaba ex Hiberis miserunt mihi muneri Fabullus 15 et Veranius: haec amem necesse est ut Veraniolum meum et Fabullum. If the napkin isn't returned, what does Catullus threaten?

That Catullus will write a nasty poem about the thief

What does Ovid tell us about Lesbia

That Lesbia wasn't her real name

What does the historian Suetonius (writing in the 2nd century CE) tell us about Catullus

That he reconciled with Caesar despite hurting his reputation

What do we mean when we say that a syllable is anceps?

That position in the line can be filled with a long or a short syllable

Salve, nec minimo puella naso nec bello pede nec nigris ocellis nec longis digitis nec ore sicco nec sane nimis elegante lingua, decoctoris amica Formiani. 5 ten provincia narrat esse bellam? tecum Lesbia nostra comparatur? o saeclum insapiens et infacetum! In line five, Catullus implies that

The 'boyfriend' is from Formiae and therefore is a country boy who is looked down upon by Catullus and his city-friends.

senatus nesciat quid Catilina facere audeat

The Senate does not know what Catiline is prepared to do The most common English equivalent of audeo is "to dare", but "The Senate does not know what Catiline dares to do" is not natural English.

There are for you (you have), boy, great and excessively powerful kingdoms.

mille domos adiere locum requiemque petentes, mille domos clausere serae; tamen una recepit, adiere is best translated

They approached

Baucis and Philemon are rewarded for their kindness to strangers. What is one thing they request?

They become priests in the temple.

In Line 9, how did they believe he had escaped that justice?

They believe he committed suicide. This is seen in line 9 "quin ipse sibi mortem consciverit" with the Helvetians thinking that he inflicted death to himself.

What two considerations influenced the Helvetians to leave everything they had ever known?

They were led and influenced by Orgetorix's authority and reputation. He was able to easily persuade the citizens to expand outward by saying that they (the Helvetians) are enclosed by the nature of the place everywhere (quod undique locī nātūrā Helvētiī continentur), by the widest and deepest Rhine river (flumine Rheno latissimo atque altissimo) to the Jura mountains (monte Iura altissimo) to the Lake of Lemmanus (lacu Lemanno) in lines 5-10. While also being well known and eager for war (homines bellandi cupidi...pro gloria belli), they also felt their boundaries are too narrow for their proportion of people (Pro multitudine autem hominum...angustos se fines habere arbitrabantur).

Cui dono lepidum novum libellum arida modo pumice expolitum? Corneli, tibi: namque tu solebas meas esse aliquid putare nugas iam tum, cum ausus es unus Italorum 5 omne aevum tribus explicare cartis doctis, Iuppiter, et laboriosis. quare habe tibi quidquid hoc libelli qualecumque; quod, patrona virgo plus uno maneat perenne saeclo. 10 When Catullus uses words like nugas in line 4 and libelli in line 8 to describe his work, he wants us to know that

This new book of his is not a traditional epic poem.

At the time Ovid was writing the Tristia, he was living in

Tomis This city is on the Black Sea in Romania today.

Choose the correct subjunctive verb to complete the Latin sentence: Cicero epistulas tam perite scripsit ut aliquis omnes epistulae __________________ ad legendum. (Cicero has written letters so beautifully that someone is collecting all his letters so people could read them.) NB: the structure at the end of this sentence is called a gerund. It's translated for you so you don't have to understand it to answer, but look out for them next chapter!

colligat The translation gives you a hint that this is the kind of perfect tense main verb that would probably be treated as primary sequence: the point is that, at the time the sentence is being written, Cicero's letters exist in the present (having been beautifully written in the past). Don't worry--there won't be any questions this tough on the single-attempt test this unit!

Both facio and fio share this principal part.

Catullus's poetry indicates that he prefers a simple country life to his life of otium or leisure in the city.

false

Compound verbs never have a different conjugation than the original verb. For example do, dare is the same conjugation as edo, edere.

false

In his poetry, Catullus clearly acknowledges his patron

false

Latin is the only language that has irregular verbs.

false

ODI et amo. quare id faciam, fortasse requiris. nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior. Neoterics prefer lengthy verses to tight, short, finely crafted ones.

false

The future tense of Latin verbs always uses the tense indicator -b- as is CenaBis.

false

The present subjunctive is formed by changing the vowel in the present indicative. For example, Indicative Subjunctive amamus amemus ducimus ducamus videmus videamus

false

True or False: dactylic hexameter contains only dactylic feet.

false

True or false: the following are always read as two consonants (which therefore lengthen any previous short syllable): x, z, ch, qu

false

True or false: a spondee is never found in the fifth foot of dactylic hexameter.

false

True or false: a word has as many syllables as it has consonants.

false

True or false: fisus sum means "I am trusted"

false

True or false: when a hard consonant like "c" or "t" is followed by a liquid consonant like "l" or "r", the previous syllable is always read as short.

false

True or false: when a syllable begins with two consonants, we read it as long, no matter the quantity of the vowel sound in it.

false

esse quid hoc dicam, quod tam mihi dura videntur strata, neque in lecto pallia nostra sedent, et vacuus somno noctem, quam longa, peregi, lassaque versati corporis ossa dolent? As the Amores 1.2 begins, Ovid tells us that he has slept well.

false

Caesar was the first Emperor of Rome

false Caesar's grandnephew Octavian was the first Emperor of Rome.

You could use a Latin gerund to translate the underlined word in "The master pursued the FLEEING slave"

false Don't be too fooled by English -ing, which we use for far too many different things. In this sentence it's a participle, not a gerund (it's modifying the slave), and you would translate with a Latin present participle.

Casear cemented his political alliance with Pompey by marrying Pompey's daughter

false He married Pompey's cousin and Julia, Caesar's daughter married Pompey.

Sequence of tense rules work the same way in subjunctive clauses and in indirect statements.

false Indirect statements don't have this whole mess in Latin (they do in English!) You just have three tenses of the infinitive (present, perfect and future) to cover "same time as main verb", "before main verb", and "after main verb".

subjunctive verbs can only be the main verb of a sentence

false Most subjunctives in real Latin are found in subordinate clauses.

Caesar married 3 women, including Calpurnia, Cleopatre and Cornelia.

false Pompeia is the 3rd Wife.

vereor ne ursus me consumat. True or false: the speaker wants the action in the fear clause to happen.

false Remember that, in fear clauses, ne indicates the thing you're trying to STOP from happening. So translate "I am scared that the bear will eat me."

Depending on what you want to say, you can in theory put any tense of the subjunctive into any Latin sentence

false This is the essence of the concept "sequence of tenses". There are only certain tenses that are allowed, depending on the tense of the main verb. Please note that, while you may occasionally see Latin authors break sequence of tense rules for special effect, this doesn't invalidate the rule. It's no different from how high-level English authors, especially poets, can sometimes break rules for literary effect.

Most Latin literature was designed for the masses and would have been easy to read.

false We're told that Latin literature was mostly written for the educated elite. It generally involves difficult word choices and sentence structure and assumes a significant amount of background knowledge. Many works are also written with the assumption that most readers were bilingual in Latin and Greek. Take heart if any of our readings are challenging. They would have been for many Romans too!

The author mentions Latin authors of different ethnic groups and genders.

false While the author does point out that the comedy writer Terence was African-born (this probably means from North Africa rather than sub-Saharan), no female authors are mentioned. It is possible that no classical Latin written by a woman survives. There are a few poems attributed to a Sulpicia, but some scholars think there was a real Sulpicia while others think they were written by Tibullus trying out a female narrator for variety. The only really likely candidate for a Latin document written by a woman is a late text called "The Martyrdom of Perpetua", which seems to be using Perpetua's own prison diary for large parts of the story. But it exists in both Greek and Latin and we're not absolutely sure which one is the translation. So in conclusion: women's score maximum 2, minimum zero.

The Roman novelist Apuleius tells us that Lesbia's real name was Clodia, and that she was the sister of Publius Clodius Pulcher.

false only the first part is true

What does omnem in Line 4 modify?

Choose the type of subjunctive clause. rex veretur ut leonem captivum necet.

fear clause You have vereor, so it can't be anything else. Yes, this is a NEGATIVE fear clause, as in something the subject is worried won't happen, and yes, if you translate it correctly it's a little sadistic.

Identify the type of clause: rex altus metuit ne nimis populi in bello perirent.

fear clause Any verb that means "to be afraid", like metuo or vereor, plus ut/ne is a dead giveaway here.

When talking about Latin meter, we refer to short, repeated patterns of syllables within a line of poetry as

Which of the following Latin tenses does not exist in subjunctive mood?

future The best explanation is that the Romans thought that the future tense already had a "maybe" element in it, so that it would not make sense to have a future subjunctive. BTW, though we have not formally reviewed/taught future perfect tense yet, there is also no FP subjunctive for the same reason.

Identify the form of portaturi in line 14.

Publius Ovidius Naso wrote during the ___________________ Age of Roman Literature

gold

luctus

grief

molere

grind in a mill

In Line 6 we learn that the Allobroges

had recently been subdued

felices ornent haec instrumenta libellos: fortunae memorem te decet esse meae. nec fragili geminae poliantur pumice frontes, hirsutus sparsis ut videare comis. According to Ovid, if books/scrolls have nice covers and shiny nobs, they will be

happy

As Baucis and Philemon grow older, they happen to be standing by the sacred steps. What are they doing? annis aevoque soluti ante gradus sacros cum starent forte locique narrarent casus,

having been weakened by years and age they stand before the sacred steps together by chance telling of the place's downfall They are telling of the place's downfall/destruction.

What is the subject of praecedunt in Line 10?

helvetii

Romans did not only write epic poems about myths. What was another subject for the earliest Latin epics?

history The article mentions that Naevius wrote an epic about the Punic War. It's not as obvious in the article, but the epic by Ennius (Annales) is also a history of Rome.

bellandi cupidi in Line 11 modifies

homines

Which Latin mood would we use for "Let's give" in the following? "Let's give the book to the best of the poets."

hortatory subjunctive

ibis

ibitis

What is the antecedent of quod in Line 10?

imperfect, subjunctive, passive

licet, decet, neccesse est These are examples of

impersonal verbs

eo

imus

What kind of subjunctive clause is this? consul imperavit ne pecuniam consumeretur.

indirect command "command" verb

Identify the type of clause: carmine Horatius Romanos hortatur ut pro patria sua dulce moriantur.

indirect command This is a challenging question, but hortor is close enough to "giving a command" (encouraging someone is still telling them to do something, just with less authority than impero!) that it will almost always introduce an indirect command. NB: I'm not trying to throw a million deponent verbs at you to torture you. This is a fairly realistic picture of the frequency of deponents in Latin prose.

In line 1 of poem 93, what is the relation of tibi to placere?

indirect object

Pick the type of subjunctive clause seen in this sentence. Multi dubitabant quid optimum esset.

indirect question

Identify the type of clause: servus rogavit ubi dominus et domina amicum suum sedere vellent.

indirect question The question word ubi is a dead giveaway. (Note the irregular imperfect subjunctive of volo--in a way, it's not really irregular, since it's just the admittedly weird infinitive form velle + endings!)

Which of the following types of Latin subordinate clause would NEVER contain a subjunctive verb?

indirect statements Remember, all the main verbs in an indirect statement (as opposed to question or command) become infinitives after the main verb, not subjunctives! Though be aware that, if you take a sentence that already has subordinate clauses in it and THEN put the whole thing inside indirect discourse, all the subordinate verbs become subjunctive even if they weren't already

What type of subjunctive clause is in lines 17-18?

purpose clause

Identify the type of clause: Caesar exercitus bene ducebat ut milites bene pugnaret. NB: For all questions of this type, while you are encouraged to look up/use context clues for words you do not know, there are enough hints for you to be able to ID the clauses without knowing all the vocabulary if necessary.

purpose clause There is an ut, the verb has nothing to do with giving a command or being afraid, and there's no word to make you suspect a result clause.

Pick the type of subjunctive seen in this question: Caesar bellum civile incepit ut dux solus factus esset.

purpose clause Without context, you could arguably take this as either purpose or result, though purpose is more likely.

exsequi

pursue, follow

In poem 1, which of the following is a complementary infinitive?

putare and explicare

lector

reader

expedite

readily, promptly

asciscere

red

rough

remove

Identify the type of clause: Cicero de Catilina tam saepissime dicebat ut audire taedeat.

result clause Classic result clause, with your "so much" word (tam) and then ut. BTW, also a good place to teach you the useful impersonal verb taedet, "it is boring/annoying". Construct like this with an infinitive (Cicero talked about Catiline so often that it was annoying to hear), or with an accusative of the person who is bored and a genitive of the thing that's boring. A weird but fun and not infrequent verb.

Choose the type of subjunctive clause: iuvenis tot pecuniam consumit ut pater non laetus sit.

result clause Tot is another one of your result clause signal words! And ut non can only be a negative result clause--negative purpose and negative indirect command use ne.

Quis probet in silvis Cererem regnare iugosis, lege pharetratae Virginis arva coli? crinibus insignem quis acuta cuspide Phoebum instruat, Aoniam Marte movente lyram?

Disertissime Romuli nepotum, quot sunt quotque fuere, Marce Tulli, quotque post aliis erunt in annis, gratias tibi maximas Catullus agit pessimus omnium poeta, tanto pessimus omnium poeta, quanto tu optimus omnium patronus. Catullus did not use the term Poetae Novi himself. Cicero did. From this poem, we might infer

that Cicero was not complementing Catullus's work when he used the phrase Poetae Novi

"Quis tibi, saeve puer, dedit hoc in carmina iuris? Pieridum vates, non tua turba sumus. In these lines, Ovid addresses Cupid and complains

that Cupid is getting involved with matters that are none of his business. That Cupid should leave poetry to the Muses BOTH

siquis, ut in populo, nostri non inmemor illi, siquis, qui, quid agam, forte requirat, erit: vivere me dices, salvum tamen esse negabis; id quoque, quod vivam, munus habere dei 20 In lines 19 and 20, Ovid tells us

that even though he is not living well, life is a gift from god

Parve, nec invideo,sine me, liber, ibis in urbem: ei mihi, quod domino non licet ire tuo! vade, sed incultus, qualem decet exulis esse; infelix habitum temporis huius habe. In line 3 and 4, Ovid's suggests

that life in exile is rough and he is unhappy

In line 3 we learn that

the Gauls differ in major cultural aspects

Which of these options is the best natural-language paraphrase of the grammar term "primary sequence"?

the main verb of the sentence is in a present or future tense Note that, although you will occasionally see perfect tense main verbs being treated as primary sequence, that's because the Romans thought of those verbs as being about the present (the "has done" translation, not the "did" translation.)

nobilitas

the nobility

senex iussit

the old man ordered (asked)

plebs

the people, the common people

repetet mea crimina lector

tribus

"mega biblion, mega kakon -- big book, big evil." Catullus and his friend would embrace this thought as they prefered libelli to epics

true

A participle is a verbal adjective.

true

Audiamus is 1st person present subjunctive. It can be translated,"Let's listen".

true

Because Baucis and Philemon were hospitable when no one else was, they were saved from a horrible flood. Their humble home was changed into a magnificent temple. They were then made priests in that temple and their last wish was granted. So the story continues.

true

By placing these verbs in the center of both lines of a two line poem, Catullus is making an important point. The placement is not random or circumstantial.

true

Facio (I make or do) and fio (I am made or done) are essentially the same verb. The metaphor "two sides of the same coin" applies here.

true

Facio, facere does not have a regular passive form in the present tense. Fio (I am made) is the passive of facio ( I make).

true

Factus est is the perfect tense of both verbs. Therefore, they are, in some respects the same verb.

true

Fieri is the present infinitive of fio.

true

Fieri is the second principal part and the present infinitive of fio. Fieri=to be done/made.

true

In Latin compound verbs, the spelling of the prepostion may vary slightly. So sub + rapio becomes surripio or cum + venio becomes convenio.

true

In Latin poetry, it is common to shorten or contract some word much like we do in English.

true

Nulli se dicit mulier mea nubere malle quam mihi, non si se Iuppiter ipse petat. dicit: sed mulier cupido quod dicit amanti, in vento et rapida scribere oportet aqua. The repetition of dicit through out the poem emphasis that "she says" this, but doesn't necessarily mean it.

true

Quid, si praeripiat flavae Venus arma Minervae, ventilet accensas flava Minerva faces? Quis probet in silvis Cererem regnare iugosis, lege pharetratae Virginis arva coli? crinibus insignem quis acuta cuspide Phoebum instruat, Aoniam Marte movente lyram? These lines ask what would happen if one deity tried to take over for another.

true

The ablative of description describes a noun in the sentence. For example, puella minimo naso The girl with a very little nose

true

The dative singular of nullus is nulli. nulli nubere = to be married to none/no one.

true

The future perfect tense is best translated "will have". For example attuleris means "you will have brought".

true

The genitive of nullus is nullius

true

The tone of this poem, Catullus 36, is playful and joking

true

This poem is a humorous parody, not an actual invitation.

true

True or false: a Latin word has as many syllables as it has single vowel sounds (i.e. dipthongs or single vowels)

true

True or false: all single vowels in Latin words may be long or short by nature, depending on the word they occur in.

true

True or false: diphthongs are always long by nature.

true

True or false: the below line: illa sunt annis iuncti iuvenalibus, illa Scans like this: -- -- | -- -- | -- // -- | -- u u | -- u u | -- --

true

True or false: the first syllable in a line of (regular) dactylic hexameter will always be long

true

True or false: the first syllable in a line of (regular) dactylic hexameter will always be long.

true

True or false: there are six feet in a line of hexameter

true

True or false: when read as a piece of verse, the following would have 8 syllables: lepidum novum libellum

true

VIVAMUS mea Lesbia, atque AMEMUS, rumoresque senum severiorum omnes unius AESTIMEMUS assis! The underlined verbs are all volitive subjunctive and best translated, "Let's...."

true

Vivamus is first person present subjunctive.

true

When Ovid mentions "puer ille" in line 25, he is refering to Cupid

true

cum milia multa fecerimus,10 conturbabimus illa, ne sciamus, aut ne quis malus invidere possit, cum tantum sciat esse basiorum. In the end, Catullus wants to mess up the count so that no evil person can know just how many kisses there are.

true

da mi basia mille, deinde centum, 7 dein mille altera, dein secunda centum, deinde usque altera mille, deinde centum. In lines 7 to 9, Catullus suggests that he and Lesbia should kiss thousands of times.

true

nec bello pede nec nigris ocellis This phrase has two examples of the ablative of description.

true

nec te purpureo velent vaccinia fuco— non est conveniens luctibus ille color— nec titulus minio, nec cedro charta notetur, candida nec nigra cornua fronte geras. Ovid uses anaphora, personification and alliteration to emphasis his point here.

true

metuit Caesar ne non satis gloriae haberet. True or false: the subject of this sentence wants the action in the fear clause to happen.

true Any double negative in Latin becomes a positive (this is logical--it's just forbidden in English). Translate, "Caesar feared that he would not have enough glory". Writing with ne non is an acceptable alternative to writing a negative fear clause with ut.

Caesar was a military leader, politician and religious leader.

true Caesar was Pontifex Maximus in Rome

Salve, nec minimo puella naso nec bello pede nec nigris ocellis nec longis digitis nec ore sicco nec sane nimis elegante lingua, decoctoris amica Formiani. 5 ten provincia narrat esse bellam? tecum Lesbia nostra comparatur? o saeclum insapiens et infacetum! In line 6, Catullus implies that the girl might be considered pretty out in the country in her province, but she does not meet the standard for pretty in the city.

true Catullus thinks everything about city-life is better. Even the girls are prettier.

subjunctive verbs use the same personal endings as indicative verbs

true The endings never make the difference between indicative and subjunctive.

metuunt pauperes ut satis cibi habeant. True or false: the people in the sentence want the action in the fear clause to happen.

true Ut indicates what you'd like to have happen (but suspect won't happen) in a fear clause. Translate "The poor people are afraid they won't have enough food."

Odi et amo. Quare id faciam, fortasse requiris. nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior. Faciam in this poem is present subjunctive.

true indirect question

indirect command

verb implying an order + ut/ne

fear clause

verb implying fear

versus

In line 6 the word latissimo is translated

very wide

vicus

Cenabis bene, mi Fabulle, apud me paucis, si tibi di favent, diebus, si tecum attuleris bonam atque magnam cenam, non sine candida puella et vino et sale et omnibus cachinnis. What case is mi Fabulle?

Parve, nec invideo, SINE ME, liber, IBIS IN URBEM: ei mihi, quod domino non licet ire tuo! vade, sed incultus, qualem decet exulis esse; infelix habitum temporis huius habe. The underlined words are best translated
