Will the book be available in Europe?

Get the book here: a.co/d/eAAh3Bf Many learners find that despite having attained a solid grasp of grammar, reading authentic Roman literature is still too often a struggle, and doubly so when it comes to poetry. The grammar and vocabulary gap between the texts they're used to from their textbooks and readers, on the one hand, and unadapted classical-era Latin, on the other, is simply too large. Yet the resources to bridge this gap are almost non-existent: learners are simply told to force their way towards literature using a dictionary, or at best a bilingual edition. The tiered reading approach is a great way to bridge the intermediate gap, as it's commonly called. A target text is picked and then rephrased at two or more lower levels of difficulty, ideally supplied with a monolingual glossary using vocabulary commonly found in textbooks. The amount of input is thus greatly amplified, and the learner is able to start at a comfortable level and progress to the original text while staying in the target language. The result is a great boost in acquisition. Despite the approach gaining currency in Latin instruction, there exist very few high-quality tiered readers; many attempt to start with a beginner A level, others limit themselves to simply cutting out chunks of the text, seemingly on the assumption that less text means more comprehension. Last year's The Lover's Curse, an illustrated Aeneid reader authored by Carla and edited by Jessica, clearly stands out as an example of how it should be done. Inspired by that book's success, Jessica enlisted my help to write our new tiered reader, titled Ericthō, Tartarōrum Terror ('Erictho: The Terror of the Underworld'). This is a reader of select passages from Dē Bellō Cīvīlī aka Pharsālia by L. Annaeus Lūcānus, known in English as Lucan. Its first tier is aimed at a solidly intermediate level, and the text we chose is far less read than the Aeneid, but its subject matter is no less exciting - the Roman Civil War, Pompey's impious son Sextus, and, of course, Erictho, a Thessalian witch who terrifies the dead by being able to summon them from the Underworld so that she can learn the future! Besides the 222 verses and their rephrasings together with a glossary for each section, our book contains an English and a Latin introduction. The former outlines our reasoning and approach to writing the book and gives some advanced hints for reading hexameter poetry, while the latter will teach you to talk about Latin pronunciation and scansion in Latin, as well as giving the necessary background information about the text and its author. Most sections are supplied with some nice antique and modern illustrations. In the video, you'll be able to see a demo of our book and hear me recite a difficult passage of verse, which you will then attempt to understand using two rephrasings that, while being of lower difficulty, are still not exactly textbook Latin and stick closely to the Classical idiom. We hope to help you assess your Latin comprehension ability and get you excited to follow the story of Erictho to its end. ~ Victor ~

Familia Romana taught me more than too many years of Latin in school. I'm super happy to be able to understand the simple version!

wow! you guys! i am so excited about your book. i may not be quite ready yet, but i will have my copy and refer to it every once in awhile during my learning journey and the day will come, like with your videos, where i can read and understand! thank you both!

Hey Jessica this is fantastic ! Well done.

Just in time for Saturnalia. I can’t wait. Sextus Pompey is actually my favorite historical figure from the period.

This presentation is great!

Līmācem, līmācem, quippe animal omnium maxumē subtaetricum :D

Salve. Gratias ago.Decem alveum circum domum habeo.

Salve. Gratias ago.👍

Quam dulcem autumnálemque pictúram! Ah, spectáculí illíus "Tránsaepium" (Over the Garden Wall) commonet... Etiam, invéní cattum tertium! Magis domesticus est céterórum ^^

Fantastic!

laudo! optime fecistis! magno usui erit, inter alia, in scholis! gratias maximas vobis ago!

Terrificum sed OPTIMUM spectaculum nobis parastis! 👍👍👍Elisiones tamen, quas Victor diligentissime adhibet, efficient ut tirones minus facile verba ejus intellegant. Suadeo ut ea saltem in "descriptione" adscribatis. Ceterum hoc parvum mendum tollendum : scelus dicitur "perjurium, -ii" (("perjuria, -æ" non est vox Latina, quod sciam)

Servius Honoratus etiam in his commentariis in libros Aeneidos dixit aras esse dis inferis, altaria dis superis - sed puto Vergilium ipsum non ita utere his vocabulis

Brilliant! Thank you.

BabaeU! BabaeU! 🥳

Bene explicatum!

fuerantne supra romam multi eclipsium

Testatus sum, die VIII mensis Aprilis MMXXIV A.D., eventum caelestialem hic ubi habito in regione septentrionali civitatis Viridis Montes. Intra umbram Lunae coronam Solaris vidi. Habuimus serenum illo die tempestatem, et etiam Venerem, Iovem, et varias stellas luminosas in caelo per breve tempus eclipsis totalitatis videre potuimus. Sentio fortunatissimus et felix id vidisse. Plurimas gratias tibi ut plura de hoc informationes praebeas.

Hello, nice video with real info ! thanks. To me the 'fruit' looks like tomatoes. greets, Paul.

Gratias pro doctissima explanatione, magistra!

Great video 5:03 It's a theatrical mask on the right, not sure about the fruit.

Fortasse canis Paridis est genere quod nunc dicitur 'canis epiroticus' aut 'Molossianus', id est, canis magna et callida qui possit ovēs tueri

Salve! pergratus tibi sum pro hoc acroamate, gaudeo, quod Latine congoscere possum ea, quae nuperrime inventa sunt. saepiuscule repetis vocabulum "exarandi", sed puto potius esse dicendum res "excavatas esse" vel "effossas".

👏 Great topic, gratis tibi ago! 😊Why is this happening with subs? I never noticed, I just read about it now in the description, something new? Have you tried to turn off the auto-generated English first (which is better to be off anyway)? Strange.

Quam pulchre facta pellicula! Mater mea hoc ipso momento defectionem solis spectat :)

pellicula mihi perplacuit! gratias tibi🥰

Nōn sānē male cōnfectae istaec māginēs vīvidae! Quīn et Senecae litterae admodum placuērunt et tua recitātiō! Et lēgī ōlim scrīpta quaedam Rōmāna dē sōlis dēfectū atque plānē admīrātus sum quam rēctē suptīliterque rem tractārent, adeō ut mē male intellēxisse putāverim. Atquī nōn stolidī fuērunt istī antīquī 😉

🌚 Can't wait to show this to my little nephew, who's obsessed with solar eclipses! Now I have a reason to expose him to Latin that no one can object to. 🤭 (people don't really know how to handle expressions such as "exposure to Latin", I can just expose him to eclipse-related content 🤭). Gratias tibi ago!

Dē Minervā quidem adāgia saepius ā Latīnitātis cultōribus audiō, sed illud alterum dē certāmine nōn erat mihi nōtum. Celeberrimum autem est illud nōn plānē adāgium, vērum locūtiō potius cāsū ablātīvō posita, quā plūrimum ūtuntur quī aliquid modestiae sibi iniciere volunt. Quam locūtiōnem nōn appellābō ut lēctōrēs vel ipsī conjectāre possint, at sī minus, taeniolam expectent in quā forte ea locūtiō tractētur :3

🎉 Ūtile est! Grātiās

ma che cazzo manda la prof nel gruppo di classe

Optime recitasti!!! :D

Hic libellus ab archive.org mutuari potestis/This book can be borrowed from archive.org: archive.org/details/ferdinandustauru0000leaf/mode/1up

I love your stories. You are always so clear and I so appreciate all the hard work and care you put into your videos and stories. Thank you.

🤗❣

Gratias plurimas

'Formatum' placuit! Pulchre recitavisti, autem :Ð

Thank you for the slower speed and careful enunciation. I love that you also have closed captions to help when needed. I will be watching this over and over again to help improve my audio skills.

This is so wonderful!

You can find a pdf of the text of Tres Capri Asperi as well as a glossary on my Substack: lupusalatus.substack.com/

Very cool! A bit harder than I was expecting. I guess I haven't read too many fables/fairy tales, so maybe it's just a genre I need to get used to Thanks for the video!

Iulia rogavit ut de Cerbero et Zombiis narres. Grātiās pro optima pellicula.

Mactē! Dē mantichorā velim audīre 🐯🦂

Risum movit taeniola: gratias tibi habeo! Potesne nobis aliam de vampiris taeniolam facere? Quae enim monstra me supra modum terrent.

Optimē factum!
