Why not join Thiela Schnaufer, our resident Latin educator as she continues to discuss the brilliance of the writing of the Aeneid and its author Virgil. The class will begin with a brief review of the Aeneid and Virgil that she discussed last fall and then continue on with the story using Book V. In Book VI we will look at the plot and the nuances of the journey of Aeneas to the underworld. This part of the Aeneid had an especially large influence on the art and literature of the following centuries. Thiela’s unique talents have brought this story to life to the delight of Sunrise Senior College. If you missed the fall presentation no worries, you can pick up here and no miss a beat. Don’t miss this chance to enjoy a great story.
