LAT 10.02 Topics in Latin Texts: Clodia Metelli

An introduction to scholarly resources with a study of our original sources for the life of Clodia, wife of Metellus, one of the most interesting female figures of ancient Rome. In addition to reading selections referring to Clodia (or “Lesbia”) from the letters and speeches of Cicero and the poems of Catullus, we will consider the ways that these generically different sources were consumed in the first century B.C.E. and how, later, they were (sometimes quite precariously) preserved through the medieval period in the manuscript tradition. This course is designed for students who have completed at least the Latin 1, 2, and 3 sequence at Dartmouth, or who have previously studied all the basics of Latin grammar but are looking for a systematic review of grammar and poetic meter and an introduction to the tools scholars use when reading texts closely. Not open to students who have received credit for LAT 010 without decimal suffix.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
