SUMMARY:Virgil Society Schools Day
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 20th January 2024 Room G22/26 \, South Block\, Senate House\, Malet Street\, London \n\n\n\n11:00 a.m.  Welcome (Alice Bolland\, South Hampstead High School) \n\n\n\n\n\n11:15 a.m.  GCSE Latin \n\n\n\nDr Jean-Michel Hulls (Dulwich College) \n\n\n\n‘Learning about the Roman (under)world with Aeneas’\n\n\n\nThe GCSE prescription of Aeneid 6 is (unavoidably) selective\, leaving out more of Virgil’s complex underworld narrative than it includes. By looking at the text in the round\, we can see that the experience was equally tricky for Virgil’s contemporary audience\, and for Aeneas himself. Unpicking some of the hero’s confusion can help us understand the history\, philosophy and literature behind Book 6. \n\n\n\n\n\n2:15 p.m.  A-level Classical Civilisation (“The World of the Hero”) \n\n\n\nDr Niki Karapanagioti (Oxford High School GDST) \n\n\n\n‘Women in Homer and Virgil: Symbols of a hero’s achievements or co-heroes?’\n\n\n\nThe talk is going to focus on mortal women in Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey and in Virgil’s Aeneid. It will discuss the mortal women’s appearance in the narrative as victims of men’s pursuit of glory\, fame and honour. But it is also going to try and identify places in all three epics where women are presented in a more positive light\, taking on traits associated with the role of a hero. \n\n\n\n\n\n3:00 p.m.   A-level Latin \n\n\n\nDr Luke Houghton (Queen’s College London / UCL\, Royal Holloway) \n\n\n\n‘Character\, rhetoric\, and description in Aeneid 12’\n\n\n\nHow do you end a story with a predetermined outcome? How can you create tension and hold readers’ attention and interest when significant elements in your plotline have already been infallibly foretold earlier in the narrative? Through close reading of the text of Aeneid 12\, this talk illustrates some of the ways in which Virgil attempts to ensure that his readers remain invested in his characters and their fate even as the overarching course of Roman destiny works itself out over the final book of the poem. \n\n\n\nAttendees are welcome to attend any or all of the talks. Lunch will not be provided\, but light refreshments (tea\, coffee\, biscuits) will be available. The event is free to attend\, but we would be grateful if you could let us know if you and/or your students intend to join us\, so that we have a rough idea of numbers\, by emailing Alice Bolland (alicebolland296@gmail.com) or Luke Houghton (lbthoughton@hotmail.com) before 31st December 2023.

SUMMARY:‘How to End a Book According to Ovid’ - Llewelyn Morgan and Bristol CA
DESCRIPTION:You are warmly invited to our first Bristol CA talk for 2024\, which will take place on Wednesday 13th March. Professor Llewelyn Morgan (University of Oxford) will deliver a talk titled ‘How to End a Book According to Ovid’.\n\n \n\nRegistration for this event can be made via Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-to-end-a-book-according-to-ovid-professor-llewelyn-morgan-oxford-tickets-838689642297\n\n \n\n‘How to End a Book According to Ovid’ – Professor Llewelyn Morgan (University of Oxford)\, 13th March 2024\n\n \n\n \n\nAbout the talk: Ovid’s Metamorphoses is an extremely mischievous poem written by a super-sophisticated poet. One consequence is that we find humour generated in this poem from some quite technical aspects of poetry. How can the way in which the fifteen books start or end be a source of amusement or poetic impact? To discover this is to appreciate the essence of Rome’s most influential (and funniest) poem\, Ovid’s Book of Change.\n\n \n\nAbout the speaker: Llewelyn Morgan is University Lecturer in Classical Languages and Literature at the University of Oxford and Tutorial Fellow in Classics at Brasenose College. He has a special interest in Roman literature\, and has published on Virgil\, Ovid\, Horace\, satire\, historiography and metrical form. He also has interests in literature in the reign of the emperor Domitian\, in Central Asia both in antiquity and more recently\, and in Latin literature of the nineteenth century.\n\n \n\nVenue: As in previous years\, the talk will take place in the Peace Memorial Hall at Badminton School\, Westbury Rd\, Bristol BS9 3BA (https://maps.app.goo.gl/icdzFHE6RecbRBgW8).\n\n \n\nTickets: There is no charge for registering via Eventbrite\, and talks are free for Bristol Classical Association members\, students\, and school pupils. There will be a cost of £5 at the door for visitors who have registered but do not fall in one of the above categories.\n\n \n\nThe link to register can be found here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-to-end-a-book-according-to-ovid-professor-llewelyn-morgan-oxford-tickets-838689642297. If you encounter issues\, or have any questions\, please contact us at bristolca23@gmail.com\n\n \n\nRefreshments will be available from 6.30pm.\n\n \n\nWe are looking forward to seeing you there!\n\n \n\nWith warm wishes\,\nthe Bristol CA committee
