HellsBells 12 May 8:34pm, 12 May 2024 33,547 posts	0 HellsBells We had letters of Pliny for O-level, they were hard going
Velociraptor 12 May 8:47pm, 12 May 2024 68,894 posts	0 Velociraptor We had chunks of The Aeneid and a poem about Atalanta for Higher Latin. Probably less hard going.
Mazlin 12 May 9:03pm, 12 May 2024 12,424 posts	0 Mazlin Pliny was pretty whiny, from what I remember. We also had part of book II of the Aeneid. I memorised all them, because I was young and my memory was still functional. No one tell the examiners.
alpenrose 12 May 9:04pm, 12 May 2024 63,302 posts	0 alpenrose I can't remember what we had in Latin lessons, I'm pretty sure no families were involved. Packing done, house tidied. I'll be luck if I get a couple of hours sleep tonight, especially as it's so hot. Just as well I finally switched my duvet earlier. Hope I don't get lost on my drive in the dark, what with that great big car park being closed at the moment.
HellsBells 12 May 9:15pm, 12 May 2024 33,548 posts	0 HellsBells We also had Aeneid book 2, obviously same syllabus Mazlin! For Greek we had the bit of the Odyssey where he hides in a bush and watches the girls and Herodotus going on about crocodiles Back in flat now after a really good day

Lizzie W 12 May 10:21pm, 12 May 2024 28,547 posts	0 Lizzie W I learnt my Latin from botany & medical terminology (mixed with Greek & assorted others), so no grammar at all! I think I have a book with a Roman mouse, or rat.
