Ecce versus ex Vergilii... I believe I've translated this reasonably well but it's the parsing that I'm concerned about. For example 'O passi...' is this really addressing a participle in the vocative case - hard to get my head around that..? I'd be grateful for some guidance.

"O socii - neque enim ignari sumus ante malorum


O passi graviora , dabit ...

3)ad calendas Graecas cede
4)cede ad calendas Graecas

So, I am at cap. 14 in Lingua Latina: Familia Romana. I did Latin way back in school, and so far the grammar has been the easiest part--it's really vocab I need to work on at this stage. One of the things I like about Lingua Latina is how enjoyable it is to figure out or recognise a new word, and that it is designed to help understand the Latin directly rather than translating everything ...

A while back there was some debate about Hobbitus Ille, to which I contributed. I have some more perspective about it now. I read Hobbitus around Christmastime; since then I have bought (in some cases merely dug out) and read (or in a few cases re-read), Winnie Ille Pu, Alicia in Terra Mirabilis (I have the original edition, not the new one that's been released recently), Regulus vel Pueri Soli Sapiunt, the Lingua Latina volumes ...

anyone who knows how is such sentence like this to be formed in Latin?
may god be your guide.
thanks.

Aeneas interea scopulum conscendit et late in mare prospexit: navis in conspectu nulla erat, sed tres cervos in litore errantes vidit, quos grex longo agmine sequebatur. Celeriter arcum sagittasque manu corripuit, quae tela gerebat fidus Achates, et primum ipsos duces gregis stravit, tum omnem gregem in silvam egit, nec prius destitit quam septem ingentia corpora humi iacebant.

Nonne 'quae' = adjectivum relativum = quae tela; '...the arrows (which) were borne by Achates...'

Please recommend me a Latin free software dictionary for Windows. There are a few to be found on the web. Which one suits your expectations best?
Thanks!

In Cap XXXIX of LLPSI Orberg scripsit.

Urbs antiqua fuit, Karthago, in ora Africae contra Italiam sita, dives atque bellicosa. Hanc urbem Iuno magis aliis omnibus dilexisse dicitur, hoc regnum omnium gentium esse volebat. Sed audiverat genus a Troiano sanguine ortum olim arcem Karthaginis expugnaturum esse. Id metuens et memor veteris belli quod ad Troiam pro caris Argis gesserat (nondum oblita erat causam irae ac doloris: iudicium Paridis, qui Venerem deam pulcherrimam esse iudicaverat), Troianos ...

Hi. I want to look again at a place in Thomas Aquinas' book, where he explains how the pain is peculiar to the body, so even in the mental sufferings what is really feeling pain is the body.

The book is probably the commentary to Aristotle's De Anima, but maybe some another book.

I'm bad at searching, so, could someone find the place for me ?
Or, just advise me how to search.

Someone recommend me some Latin or Greek books writing on self-observation.

Self-observation means
1. observation of one's body (with an inner sense),
2. observation of one's mind.

Such a book I know only Augustinus' Confession.
I suppose there would be a lot of meditative books by Christians or ethical people writing about the mind (type 2).
But I would rather like to read the type 1 (not that the type 2 is out of my ...
