Salvete! Today we enjoyed our 6th round of Greek classes. After lunch we had Greek Drill, time to prepare for our Mercatus Traiani, and a guest speaker, Dr. Eric Casey. Remember our previous "Epi-damaged" pun? Dr. Casey's talk featured more of that, covering puns in the works of Vergil, Ovid, and other Latin writers. After dinner, our RA Grace gave us a lecture on Graeca Vasa, or Greek Vases, and we got to paint our own Greek vases! The day finished with the conclusion of Mr. Cavedo's short stories. In short, it was a fitting beginning to the end. In the slideshow below are pictures from our talent show. Want to see more Academy talent? Come see Menaechmi this Saturday at 2 pm! See the last page of the Student Packet under "Materials" for a formal invitation. Valete!
