I am looking to start a small Latin reading group which will meet once a week or so at night for a couple hours to read Latin texts, discussing their context within classical culture while socializing and having lots of fun!
You need not be an advanced reader, but you should have completed elementary Latin (e.g., all of Wheelock) and have a good grasp of basic grammar. We will review grammar and the stylistic quirks of each author as needed, though.
We will choose texts as a group within the limits of what texts are available with commentaries.
Most likely we will meet in central Boston or Cambridge in a public spot, such as a favorite coffeeshop.
If you love Latin and are fascinated by the ancient world, email me at mdahmen@gmail.com and let’s get started!
