4/7 Classics Update
In our final week of optional study, we will continue to look at work that we will be digging into the first week back from Spring Break, as we move into required study.
As explained last week, these will be required works that we will look at, but because they are very complex you have the option to look at them earlier and with more time to explore them.
If you have not looked at last week's, here it is again. I would look at that before moving to this week's.
For this week, we be moving on to Virgil's Book of the Dead (Bk VI of The Aeneid). If you chose to not read the first 5 books of The Aeneid, you can still look at this with the focus on how Virgil depicts the nature of death and afterlife.
All of the Books of the Dead (Homer, Plato, and Virgil) also make up Chapter 15 in our Classical Mythology book. So if you have that book with you and you would rather just look at the chapter that works as well.
