![]() |
Aeneas (face on bottom), carrying his father Anchises on his shoulders and household gods (Penates), leaves his destroyed fatherland, Troy and after a long and adventurous vayage, arrives to the shores of Italy. |
| Review topics: Interrogative adjective, Indirect question, Indirect Statement, Participles (Adjectival and Adverbial use of). |
For the place of Aeneas in the foundation story of Rome, see p. 12 of the Penguin Historical Altas of Ancient Rome.
SENT 1
Aborigines: (SEM) literally, "those from the
beginning"; Latinus' people.
ea: (SYN:mod) this demonstrative adjective
modifies loca
tenebant = regebant
loca: (MORPH) this noun has neuter plural forms
SENT 2
cum...constitissent: (SYN:mod) this is a
finite dependent adverbial clause of circumstance; see Summary
of Syntax ¶19,22,23,23C.
instructae acies: (SEM) You need to have some knowledge
of the structure of the Roman army, in order to visualize the
"drawn up battle-lines
that have taken up position". Look also at a cohort,
consisting of six smaller units centuria, centuries, at a Roman general
and at a common soldier (legionary).
autem: (DIS:conn) this is a sentence connector
which contrasts the action of the first sentence with that of
the second.
evocavit: (SYN:kernel) S is ø (=gapped) Latinus.
SENT 3
rogavit: (SYN:kernel) the subject here is
gapped (ø). o What is the last mentioned subject?
qui mortales...exissent: (SYN:kernel) these
three clauses are all indirect questions (see Summary of Syntax
¶28,29). qui here is an interrogative adjective,
modifying mortales.
o quo is also an interrogative adjective; what is its
nounhead?
casu, domo: (SYN:mod) these two ablative
nouns are both adverbial modifiers of essent profecti.
When translating ablative nouns without prepositions, it is necessary
to supply prepositions in English. See Summary of Syntax ¶14h,
14j-o.
o Using the meanings of the ablative nouns to help you, decide
which uses of the ablative casu and domo represent.
o What prepositions in English express these semantic notions?
quidve: (SYN:conn) -ve is a coordinating
conjunction connecting two indirect questions. Like -que,
-ve is attached to the end of the first word of the second
item in the conjoined pair.
quaerentes: (SYN:kernel) this participle
modifies the øSubject of exissent. See the kernel
chart for this Reading for the structure of this clause. Although
quid is the direct object of quaerentes, it must
remain in first position in the clause when translating.
SENT 4
illi = the Trojans
responderunt: (SYN:kernel)
o What kind of information/structure do you expect after a verb
with this meaning?
se: (SEM) the reflexive pronoun se
refers to the subject of the governing verb, and it should be
translated with the English pronoun appropriate to the subject.
In this case, as the subject of responderunt is third person
plural, use "they".
ducem suum Aenean: (SYN:kernel) this is a
linking kernel with a øesse. Aenean is a Greek accusative
form. (SEM) the reflexive possessive adjective suus a um has
a general meaning of "belonging to subject"; as the
subject in this case is third person plural, suum should
be translated as "their". See the note on se above.
filium: (SYN:mod) in apposition with Aenean.
Apposition is a syntactic structure in which two usually
adjacent nouns having the same 'real world' referent stand in
the same syntactical relation to the rest of a sentence, e.g.,
'Rome, the capital of Italy, is on the Tiber River.'
cremata patria...quaerere: (SYN:kernel) this
is a continuation of the indirect statement from the previous
sentence. Read this in the following chunks: cremata patria
\ domo profugos \ sedem condendaeque urbi locum \ quaerere.
profugos: (SYN:mod) this noun is in apposition to a
gapped se.
condendae urbi: (MORPH/SYN: mod) "for founding
a city;" condendae is a future passive participle
used in a gerundive construction. In this instance it modifies
urbi, a dative of purpose with locum. See Summary
of Syntax ¶44f for an explanation of the gerundive construction.
SENT 5
et nobilitatem...admiratus: (SYN:conn) this
participal clause contains two sets of coordinating conjunctions
- et...et "both...and" and vel...vel "either...or".
o What are the Latin words which are the syntactic "sames"
for each of these sets?
o What is the syntactic role that each pair has in common? Are they kernel items or modifiers?
admiratus: (MORPH) "having admired". This is a perfective deponent participle, which means it has a passive form but functions as an active verb, and is translated actively. See Summary of Syntax, ¶54.
dextra = dextra ømanu

KEY to Questions 1-7 related to Reading 2.
SENT 1: Itaque ibi coeperunt Troiani
munire locum, quem Aeneas ex nomine uxoris suae, Latini regis
filiae, quae iam ante desponsa Turno erat, Lavinium nominavit.
Filiae (SYN): Apposition to uxoris.
Latini (SYN): Genitive noun (adjectival modifier) to filiae
ante (SEM): (adverb) before
nominavit (SYN): what
kind of a kernel does this verb represent?
quem (SYN): what
is the syntactic function of the relative pronoun within its own
clause?
SENT 2: At vero Amata, Latini regis uxor,
cum indigne ferret Laviniam, repudiato Turno consobrino suo, Troiano
advenae collocatam esse, Turnum ad arma concitavit.
vero (SEM): (adverb) truly
indigne fero (SEM): to bear with indignation, to resent.
NOTE that the verb introduces an Indirect Statement. Translate
accordingly.

that this is a deponent verb. How will that affect your translation?
circumventus est occisusque (MORPH): These are periphrastic
forms (present perfective passive) of the verbs cicumvenio
and occido, conjoined with -que. Read a gapped est
with occisus.
SENT 5: Nec tamen, amisso socero, Aeneas
Rutulis obsistere destitit, tandemque Turnum interemit.
obsistere destitit (SYN): desisto (stop) is a governing
verb of a complementary infinitive (obsisto).

Tarquin, the last king of Rome was worried (for a good reason, as it turned out) about who will succeed him, so he sent his sons and his nephew all the way from Rome to the famous oracle of Delphi in Phocis (Greece), a significant journey back then. The theater came about because many people would always gather at Delphi, a sanctuary and oracle with an international reputation. |

The fall of the monarchy (509 B.C.), related to the figure of Brutus became such a strong emblem that another Brutus in the 1st C.E. was compelled to follow the model of the earlier Brutus by assasinating Julius Caesar who seemed to aspire for the restoration of monarchic rule. This 1st cenury coin shows Caesar's assasin. A cap (pileus), given to freed slaves is on the reverse. |

On the Punic wars, see the Penguin Historical Atlas of Ancient

Cannae on p. 25. See p. 24 for what is believed to be a picture
of a bust of Hannibal.
Hannibali victori : (SYN:mod)
o A dative object to suadeo. Add to the list of verbs that
require a Special Intransitive kernel (p. 8 in Sum of Syntax)
Another good example of a Special intransitive kernel! Dative
objects are kernel items. This is why victori is bolded in the
bracketed version of your coursepack, which means that Hannibali
is perceived as an apposition. Of course, one could have done
it the other way around as well.
ceteri : (SYN:kern)
o What case is this? Note that it is bolded in the bracketed version
of the text in the course-pack. It means that this is a kernel
item.
suadebant : (SYN:kern)
o What is the direct object of this transitive verb?
quietem et ipse sibi sumeret et fessis daret militibus:
an example of parallelism (with the parallel items after each
"et").
o Label the A, B, and C (common) elements
sibi, militibus: (SYN:mod)
o What use of the dative case are these?
praefectus: (SYN:mod) from praeficio. Here,
it functions as a noun describing a military rank.
equitum: (SYN:mod) i.e., Hannibal's cavalry.
MORPH: What case is this noun in ?
cessandum esse: (SYN:kern) a passive periphrastic.
o What use of the infinitive does it represent?
ut scias: (SYN:mod)
o What kind of ut clause is this? A common feature of Latin
word-order: this dependent clause purpose comes before its main
clause.
o What clause is this ut clause dependent upon?
quid hac pugna sit actum: (SYN:kern) indirect question
after scias.
sit actum: (SEM) a good meaning for ago in
this context is "to accomplish." I leave it to you to
figure out the form I.D. of this verb.
victor: (SYN:mod) appositive describing the subject
of epulaberis.
epulaberis: (MORPH)
o What tense is this?
sequere: (MORPH) imperative form.
ut Romani te prius venisse quam venturum esse sciant
o Again, this dependent purpose clause comes before its main clause.
Where does the indirect statement within this ut--clause begin
and end? It may help to note that the main verb, upon which the
indirect statement depends, follows the indirect statment, the
dependent clause.
prius . . . quam: translate as one word together
with quam, as before. The quam introduces
a clause of comparison within the indirect statement and sets
up another parallel structure.
venisse, venturum esse: (SYN:kern) note the different
tenses of these infinitives
sciant = credant. The verb that triggers
the I.S.
praecedam: (SYN:kern) this form could be either
future imperfective indicative or present imperfective subjunctive;
give a translation for each possibility
ad consilium pensandum: (SYN:morph) see ad
+ gerundive in the Summary of Syntax.
opus esse: (SEM) opus est + ablative means
"there is need of abl noun ".
eidem: (MORPH)
o What case is this in? Check out idem, eadem, idem (another demonstrative
pronoun, meaning same) in the Summary of Morhology.
dedere = dederunt; variant form of
the third person plural pres perf act ending -erunt
vincere scis . . . victoria uti nescis: another parallel
structure.
uti: (SYN:kern)
o This is the infinitive of utor, uti, usus sum - use
o What case does that verb take for its object? Go to page 8 in
Summary of Syntax again to learn about Ablative objects. Victoria,
which is here in the ablative goes on the kernel chart!
diei: (SYN:mod)
o What case is this?
creditur: (SYN:kern) sets up an indirect statement.
saluti: (SYN:mod) Dative complement in a Special
Linking kernel (See the Summary of Syntax p. 10).
urbi atque imperio: datives of reference or advantage.
Together with saluti they form a double dative.
imperio (SEM) used here in the sense of the future
"empire" that the Punic wars cleared the way for (in
the author's opinion) rather than the power of higher Roman magistrates.

All public inscriptions contained the well-known abbreviation SPQR (Senatus Popolusque Romanus), as did this military standard, bearing the main symbols of Rome. However, in 133-122 B.C. the senate and the people did not present such a united front as the symbol of SPQR implies. The severe disagreements over the distribution of land led to riots and eventually to the assasination of the tribunes of the people, the Gracchi (Tiberius in this text) and later Gaius. You will see the SPQR on all public inscriptions, if you visit Rome, e.g. on the Arch of Titus. |

P. Africani ex filia nepos: (SEM) "grandson (nepos) of Publius Africanus (P. Africani) by his daughter (ex filia)".
creatus: (SYN:kernel) the passive of creare can be linking. See Summary of Syntax ¶5.
abrogavit: (SYN:kernel/mod) abrogare means "to deprive someone (in the dative) of something (in the accusative)".
agris dividendis: (SYN:mod) for gerundive construction, see Summary of Syntax ¶44f; this is a dative of purpose which is adverbial rather than kernel.
creavit: (SYN:kernel) creare in the active voice can be factitive (see Summary of Syntax ¶7).
cum: (SYN:mod) introduces an adverbial clause of concession; see Summary of Syntax ¶23d.
o Concession involves an inherent contradiction between the information in the dependent clause and that in the governing clause. What contradictory information is given in this sentence makes it necessary to interpret this cum as concessive?

eos qui: (SYN:mod) this is a cataphoric (carrying forward) use of the pronoun eos. Rather than referring back to something previously mentioned (the more frequent anaphoric use), in this case eos is defined by the relative clause which follows. Translate as "those who...".
irruere: (MORPH) = irruerunt; this is a variant form of the 3rd pl present perfective act indic.
in Gracchum: (SEM) in + acc of a person often means "against" or "toward".
