1. Latin.
2. I'd love to be able to read THE AENEID in Latin.

Dante called Boethius the “last of the Romans and first of the Scholastics“. He wrote The Consolation of Philosophy while unjustly imprisoned in 523. In the book he is visited by Lady Philosophy who teaches him that transient things do not bring happiness.

📖 Fabulae Mirabiles: Fairy Tales in Latin (Hippocrene Foreign Language Studies) by Victor Barocas
pickSeveral contemporary (2002) poets translating Horace's Odes freely. All must have some knowledge of Latin. All were born from ~1920 to ~1965. So a bunch of older classically inclined poets. Each translation is a combination of Horace's and the poet's meanings. Overall it leaves an interesting impression, and I enjoyed that. I‘ve been working through this since Jan 13, a little bit each morning.
