Rating all the Latin authors I've read in the past two years in honor of my oral Latin exam tomorrow

Caesar (De Bello Gallico)

This is a weird one because while his prose isn't extremely difficult, it was also the first unedited work I read, so for lil 15-year-old me, this was very difficult. But I learned a lot from Caesar (especially that he made it an art to making his sentences as long as possible. We read an entire 200 words, and IT WAS JUST ONE SENTENCE.), and the sense of nostalgia while rereading it is very pleasant, so I will give you a solid 6/10

Pliny the Younger (Epistulae)

Mixed feelings about this one again. This could also be just because I despise prose. I really do not like it at all. Pliny's epistulae were pretty okay. I liked them a little better than Caesar's because of their variety (for those that don't know, epistulae means letters). His letter about the Vesuvius was a lot of fun to translate, even with all the hyperbata, but his letters about or to his third wife were very uncomfortable. Like, I get things were different back then. BUT YOU WERE 45, PLINY. 45. SHE WAS WHAT? 14? 15 TOPS? MY GOD. THAT'S A BIGGER AGE DIFFERENCE THAN I HAVE WITH MY FATHER.

7/10

Ovid (Metamorphoses)

Ovid is life Ovid is love. He was the one who introduced me to Latin poetry, and I will always love him for it. He was an icon and a legend. The poems of his that we read (Daedalus & Icarus, Latona and the Lycian peasants, Diana and Actaeon) were all bangers, and I love them all to death. I never wanted to go back to reading prose after this (but unfortunately, I will have to next year. ew)

11/10 (I love you, Ovid)

Vergil (The Aeneid)

*deep sigh* Listen. I love his complex works, and I have great respect for this poem but by the GODS. Vergil's poetry is the most difficult I've had to translate by a long shot. He made me rethink my entire career in Latin. I have considered quitting so many times because of this man. I felt like a complete idiot most of the time. This is not a guy to fuck with. Luckily I got through it on my finals (barely.) but Christ alive this man made my life difficult.

5/10

Horatius (Satires and Odes)

Horatius will always have a special place in my heart. We read his poetry right after Vergil's, and it almost completely restored my faith in my abilities. He's just my little guy and I have fond memories of translating his works. We still know many Latin phrases that he wrote (Carpe Diem being the most famous. Hello, DPS fandom). Also, he and Vergil were most definitely in love. I don't make the rules. I have evidence if you want me to elaborate.

9/10

Catullus (love poems)

Ah, Catullus. Horny poet of the year. Had a wild affair with an older married woman. Nepotism baby. Sappho stan. Didn't know how to budget, but we aren't holding that against him. Just wanted to write poetry and dance (who doesn't, honestly). Gave fuck-all about education. Wrote nearly all of his poetry about the older woman he had an affair with. Might I add that this woman was married to one of his father's bestest buddies? Yeah. Icon. Here's a kid's choice award.

8/10

Martialis (Epigrams)

This dude had ZERO chill. Roasted everyone in the city. Literally, no one is safe. Wasn't afraid to call people out by their real names. Some people allegedly committed suicide after being roasted by this guy. Translating his epigrams gave me more joy than hearing we had seen the end of Vergil. His humour may be a little silly now, but I will not accept any Martialis slander on my blog.

10/10

And that is all folks

does anyone have some books/sources recs about horatio? not just his works, but something about him, his life, analysis of his works and writing style and such.

i speak italian and english (and i can understand latin and ancient greek), but tbh i'll take every language and try to understand it lol (also, i started to learn spanish and took french in middle school, so i can read these languages even if i'm not able to actually speak them).

thanks to everyone in advance!! <3

Domitius: What if someone does something irksome and I decide to remove their spine? Horatius: That’s… that’s actually murder, one of the worst crimes of all. Also illegal.

For my dear fellow classicists, having trouble with pronouncing those lyric verses in their true "meter", I come and bear you the perfect gift; a website that shows how to pronounce many famous poems in their "meter". It took me a while to find such a website, hope I can help some others with it now.

The website: https://hypotactic.com/latin/index.html?Use_Id=about

Optima vota!

 Yüreklice düşün;

Gir bu yola seve seve!

İyi yaşamayı sonraya bırakan kimse,

Yolu üzerinde bir ırmakla karşılaşıp da

Akıp geçmesini bekleyen insana benzer;

Oysa ırmak hiç durmadan akıp gidecektir.

( Horatius )

I want to draw other artists' OCs that I love, so I'm making time to take breaks from my project to do these, for fun! :)

The first is Horatius, who belongs to Dove Graveyard

I love all of his characters, but Hor makes me go feral. I also had a hard time choosing which version of Hor to draw, but I'm weak for ancient times, so who am I kidding

I went on a little learning spree to find out which roses were the ones cultivated in ancient Greece and Rome: the species is called Rosa Gallica, but I took liberties with its appearance, and gave them more petals than the real flower actually has. Roses and violets were two of the favorite flowers for their gardens, used for festival and funerary purposes; and of course, roses are one of the many symbols attributed to the goddess Aphrodite/Venus
