Latina Mythica II: Troia Capta

This graded Latin reader has twenty chapters. The first two chapters cover mythical material that occurs well before the action of the Iliad. Then, after including much of the action of the Iliad itself, the book concludes with two chapters telling the stories beyond the epic to give a more complete sense of the myth of Troy. It is designed for students who have completed the study of Latin grammar, usually one year of college or two to three years of high school. Facing-page grammatical/vocabulary notes boost reading speed and reader confidence. An introduction in English and citation for the ancient sources of the myths accompany each story. Special Features: Grammar and comprehension questions; discussion questions; cultural influences of the myth in art, music, ballet, and literature; 28 black and white illustrations; an English epilogue; end vocabulary
