ASSESSMENTS FOR THE WEEK:

FORMAT: 1 paragraph: Thesis statement Textual evidence & citation

This week’s translation (due FRIDAY 5 pm) Anna on the Loss of her Sister : 4. 682-3 (PHARR p.245)

sacrum iussa fero teque isto corpore 3 solvo':sic ait et dextra crinem secat, omnis et unadilapsus calor atque in ventos vita recessit.

PICK ONE: Although book 5 of the Aeneid initially seems unimportant, this

book develops major themes that have been introduced in earlier books. In a brief but well-developed paragraph, select one of the events (the boat race, foot race, boxing match, or sharpshooting match) and analyze the theme(s) that are represented within.

Compare Vergil’s treatment of a heterosexual couple (Aeneas /Dido, Aeneas / Creusa, Priam / Hecuba, Cassandra / Coroebus, etc.) and the same sex couple Nisus & Euryalus. Does Vergil treat same sex couples differently than heterosexual couples? What evidence supports your claim?

Analyze the role of women in Aeneid 5. How is this episode portrayed in comparison to the events of the funeral games?

Analyze Aeneas’ leadership qualities in Aeneid 5. Is he a good leader? Why or why not?

1 Exstinguo, -ere: to destroy, exstinguish2 Diti: = Morti3 Ex tuo corpore
