Reckless Love: The Story of Pyramus and Thisbe: A Tiered Latin Reader (Latin Edition)

Description

Forbidden to marry by their quarreling parents, two Babylonian lovers, Pyramus and Thisbe, create a desperate plan to run away together in the middle of the night. However, things don’t go according to plan, and the lovers soon discover that hasty choices can have tragic consequences. Now read Ovid’s timeless story of forbidden love and bitter irony in an entirely new way: using “tiered” readings, simplified versions of the original story that get progressively more complex, until the reader is able to comprehend the original Latin text without laborious translation or constantly thumbing through a dictionary. This volume includes marginal glosses of less common Latin vocabulary, illustrations, and a full glossary. About the author: Andrew Olimpi lives in Dacula, Georgia with his beautiful and talented wife, Rebekah and son Ransom. When he is not writing and illustrating books, Andrew teaches Latin at Hebron Christian Academy in Dacula, Georgia. He holds a master’s degree in Latin from the University of Georgia, and currently is working on a PhD in Latin and Roman Studies at the University of Florida.
