The Classics Project

John Faucett

The Classics Project explores ancient Greek and Roman civilization. With the lenses of history, anthropology and philosophy we study the Greek and Latin languages and the cultures and civilizations around them. Together, we'll travel from Athens to Ireland, from the shores of Ithaca to medieval monasteries. On our journey, we will study and learn the foundational languages and ideas of the west writ large - Latin & Ancient Greek. That task will be accompanied with analysis and readings in the texts of these great civilizations.

    #0005: Caput V: Urbs ad Theātrum Ruit

    In hāc partē Podcastī Latīnī audītōrēs per urbem Pompēiānōrum ambulant: turbam festīnantem vident, actōrēs clārōs exspectant, et Poppaeam cum Lucrione sequuntur. In viā, in villā, et tandem in theātrō, vīta cotīdiāna, clāmor, risus, atque spectaculum prōnōnciantur—dum tota urbs ad theātrum ruit.

    #0004 Caput IV: in foro

    Hodie in podcastō nostrum Pompēiānās fābulās audīmus. Multae personae “ego sum…” dīcunt et opera sua narrant. Deinde discimus dē Hermogene, mercātōre fallācī, et dē iūdicē quī rem probat. Postrēmō vidēmus Grumiōnem perterritum, quod leōnem in pictūrā videt. Hic est summārium breve tōtīus podcastī: Personae Pompēiānae loquuntur: coquus, argentārius, tōnsor, vēnalīcius, poēta, pictor. Quīntus et Metella interrogant: "quis es tū?", "quid agis?" Hermogenēs mercātor pecūniam petit, sed Caecilium fallit. Iūdex in basilicā rem audit et Hermogenem convincit. Grumiō et leō: Grumiō ebrius pictūram leōnis vīvam putat.
