The Pleasures of Teaching Lucretius
Time: November 6, 2008 from 3pm to 5pm
Location: Online

While Caesar, Cicero and Vergil have long vied for first place in the classical curriculum, Lucretius' treatment of universal human matters rightfully earns him a place in their company. Informed by the latest in Lucretian scholarship, Dr. Bonnie Catto focuses on excerpts from De Rerum Natura, and discusses college-level linguistic and intellectual aids for translating and comprehending this difficult but magnificent Roman poet.
