Clayton High – Latin III

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Latin students advance to the beginnings of Latin literature in the third year. The level of Latin readings calls for the most difficult and challenging syntax so as to equip the student for reading the complicated literary language of Latin. Stories involve the heart of Roman society in the capital city: the Senate, the Forum, imperial politics and intrigue, and Stoic philosophy. Some of the early literary readings may include the epigrams of Martial, the letters of Pliny the Younger, and selections from Ovid's Metamorphoses. Other Latin writers may be studied according to the interests and needs of the class.
