Short Latin Stories: The Story of Polycrates Pt 3 - The Fate of Polycrates
In this video, I will use one of the short Latin stories I mix into my own classroom from George L. Bennett's "Easy Latin Stories for Beginners" (1879). This reader contains hundreds of short stories on a variety of themes (some historical, some fictional) involving Greek/Roman history and culture.
While Bennett implies this should be a Beginning level reader, I would say these stories are more appropriate for Intermediate Latin students (Latin 2/3, depending on curriculum), as they do include more advanced grammar such as Subjunctive Mood.
To see this story and many more, take a look at Nova Latin and the resources I've added for Bennett's Reader:
