what’s up! i know there are more than a couple latin students in the community and as someone who, like, really throws herself into studying latin + associated roman things (i want to be a classicist so) there are a couple (more than a couple) of resources i’ve come across that really help!
history & culture:
fordham ancient history sourcebook
the latin library (bunch of classical latin texts)
whole bunch of links to various latin texts (there’s some medieval christian stuff in here too)
the perseus project (more classical texts but with english translations)
the ancient history encyclopedia
bunch more links to roman history (and medieval history!) resources
classical art research centre
greek and roman female authors
this lets you figure out how much time and money it took to get from one place to another in the roman world and it’s my favorite
FREE D OWNLOADS OF THE ENTIRE CLASSICAL LOEB LIBRARY? (for those who don’t know: loebs are books with the latin text placed side-by-side with an english translation) holy shit guys this is a big deal
curious about virgil?
another good classics post with a lot of resources
oxford list of classical resources
the language:
reliable, searchable latin dictionary
another one that gives context and specific usage info for the words
a LOT of latin dictionaries mostly in pdf format
absolute need to know latin vocab
online resources for cambridge latin courses (caecilius est in horto. that one)
bunch of grammar resources/pdf textbooks
wheelock’s latin pdf download (honestly this textbook is my favorite)
free downloads of a bunch of other textbooks
grammar reference charts
create customized vocab for your textbooks and ancient texts holy shit
videos in latin
have fun! may the force be with you!
Francis sent me a six-page letter about how bored he felt, and how sick he was, and virtually everything he’d had to eat since I’d seen him last.

a summary of francis abernathy
so I was translating the Iliad and of course I had to end up crying again
why?
well, first of all, there’s something important about the Iliad: it’s very common that a certain verse appears a lot of times in the poem (for example, “and thus, X said” or “and then, black death took over his corpse”) because the Iliad and the Odyssey were oral poems. Those verses made it easier for the poet to remember the rest, a bit like the chorus of a song.
Okay. So. In the book 2 of the Iliad, Achilles is with his mother, and he’s crying because Agamemnon has offended him. And Thetis says: τί δέ σε φρένας ἵκετο πένθος; ἐξαύδα, μὴ κεῦθε νόῳ, ἵνα εἴδομεν ἄμφω. (Son, what sorrow has taken over your heart? speak, don’t hide it in your heart, so we both know).
Then we move forward to book 16. Homer shows us a four verse long simile describing Patroclus’ tears: he cries warm tears like a dark fountain pours its waters over a cliff. Achilles gets worried about him (because who would like seeing the love of his life crying like that? not me, not Achilles) and Achilles asks him why is he crying, and says: ἐξαύδα, μὴ κεῦθε νόῳ, ἵνα εἴδομεν ἄμφω. The exact same verse.
And! then! there’s book 18. Patroclus has died, and Achilles is completely devastated. His mother appears quickly at his side, and, alarmed, says: τέκνον τί κλαίεις; τί δέ σε φρένας ἵκετο πένθος; ἐξαύδα, μὴ κεῦθε. (Son, why are you crying? what sorrow has taken over your heart? speak, don’t hide it). Yes, this same verse again.
Think about it. The very words Achilles had comforted Patroclus with, Thetis has to repeat them to comfort her son again. At first, he was crying because he was offended; then he cries because, as a consequence of that offence, he’s lost the person whom he loved more than his own life.
Intertextuality in the Iliad is absolutely fascinating and heartbreaking and I’m not okay
