Latin Short Stories
During my time as a Latin teacher, I noticed that many students found it difficult to connect with and understand a lot of the nuances that come with reading and translating Latin. Latin is a very grammar and rule heavy language, so to help combat this, I began composing short stories that modeled the language in a more modern approachable way. These stories were written for Latin, and translated to English in a manner that retains the nuance and meaning found in the original language.
All of the following were written and translated by myself.
This is a short story that follows the life of a small time Roman farmer and his pet ostrich. (Intermediate Latin)
This story follows the disastrous fate that a Roman queen and her city meet upon their interactions with a neighboring witch. (Advanced Latin)
