This week mostly consisted of translation and class discussion, and one day when we drew these very interesting drawings on the board of the different characters that can be found in the underworld in the Aeneid. This is a sample of what was done. I might have been the only one to notice that the word 'fames' which means hunger must be the root word of the English word famine, which I guess makes sense because during a famine, people go hungry. The drawing under 'Metus' (fear) didn't scare me until someone went up and drew teeth on it, after that THEN I started screaming. By now in the Aeneid, Aeneas has successfully made it into the Underworld, and I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens!
