- translate selected passages from Virgil's Aeneid, thereby demonstrating a strong knowledge of Latin grammar, syntax and vocabulary;
- analyse the poem in its Augustan context;
- evaluate the aesthetic merits of the Aeneid, and its contribution to Western literature.
In the 2023/24 Spring Trimester we will focus on Vergil, Aeneid 10.
