<img title="Women's Legacy logo" src="//inclusion.womenslegacyproject.eu/images/LogoWL.svg" /><hr />Read the text by Sulpicia, a Roman poet from the 1st century AD, in Latin and English, and answer the syntactic questions based on it. (The questions refer to the Latin text, but the translation serves as a support).
XVII&nbsp;
Estne tibi, Cerinthe, tuae pia cura puellae, &nbsp;quod mea nunc uexat corpora fessa calor? A ego non aliter tristes euincere morbos &nbsp;optarim, quam te si quoque uelle putem. At mihi quid prosit morbos euincere, si tu&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5 &nbsp;nostra potes lento pectore ferre mala?&nbsp;
"Have you, Cerinthus, a devoted concern for your girl,
because the fever is now battering my tired body?
Alas, I would not wish to be rid of the painful disease,
if I didn't think you wanted this too.
But what good would it do me to be free of the disease, if you
can bear my woes with an indifferent heart?"
(Our translation based on the translation into Spanish by Aurora L&oacute;pez, 1994. No solo hilaron lana).

Observacions i context

Sappho's poetry gave birth to a long list of women who, until the 4th century AD, were the first to use their voices in different styles, in Greek as well as in Latin. From Roman times, mentioning only the poets of whom minimum testimony remains, we find Sulpicia "the elegiac poetess", Melinno, Herennia Procula, Claudia Trophime, Sulpicia "the satirist", Julia Balbilla, Caecilia Trebulla, Damo, Terentia, Theosebia and Aconia Fabia Paulina.

The four syntax activities regarding the Elegies 14, 16, 17 and 18 can be worked in an independent way or together in a session consisting of four interactive groups aiming to review the syntax. The sequencing for a 55-minute class would be the following:

5’. Explaining the session.

40’. Each activity will take 10 minutes, the fragment will be read in Latin and in English and students will answer the questions.

10’. Any syntactic questions which have arisen will be asked to the whole group and suggestions for improvement of the activities can be made.

The activity is aimed at students of Latin in 4th of ESO, which is the subject where the block of syntax is implemented.
