Quondam Abes Monday 14 September 2009

INCIPIT (Warm-up): See latinstonebridge.blogspot.com; record the Roman date (under HODIE EST), and read the brief note I posted; take a couple of notes in your binder/journal/compbook, noting the names of Plato, "Greater Mysteries," and other things you'd like to know more about; then, click on the title that reads "Everyday Greek and Latin." Another document will appear, It should be p 181 in a book about Plato, by Ann Michelini (on Google Books). Read that first paragraph. Discuss

I. Greek and Latin word relatives: agrapha dogmata (un-written doctrines), dogma vs. karma, telos (goal), eudaimonia (good energy, productive “vibes”). "Alpha-privitive," Latin de+ , Germanic un+ (as in "uncool").

II. Greek alphabet: Chant and visual cueing.

III. Transition Grids: POIESIS and choices (there will be handouts shortly)

IV. Get to <3<3> your Text V. CLC Text

Latin II “coniuratio” p. 7 Blue Latin III “fons sacra” p. 6 Green Latin I “Cerberus” p. 7 Red

Everyday Latin and Greek

From Dr. Matteo: Today 14 September, is traditionally the day the ancient Greek celebrated the Greater Mysteries. Let's look at a passage from a modern scholar who studies Plato, and break it down for word relatives.

Sententia scribenda in linguā latinā, quaeso:

Tempus Fugit

for John Thornton

Fellow fugitive
Forgive yourself
And me thereby
Thus we can live
Whatever's left
Of time for us,
Each day a gift
We take on trust

Samuel Menashe (Poetry 2009)

It's Monday 7 Sept, Labor Day: Bored and Nothing to Do?

...I can use volunteers in 301 unpacking and organizing many exciting curricular projects for Latin Club. I plan to be here at least until 3 p.m., possibly later. You can vox mobile or text me at 703.568.8663 if you want to check-in before you drop by. There will likely be FOOD involved!
Yours, Dr. Matteo
