<p>......</p>
<p>......</p>
<p>you dont need money! gimme! =P</p>
<p>Economium, yeah, today in latin class it hit me that that's what that was making fun of. If i had the next line, probly would have noticed.</p>
<p>Catullus 5 i believe</p>
<p>Pyrrhus have you read Catullus 101 by any chance?</p>
<p>("multas per gentes et multa per aequora vectus,
advenio has misteras, frater, ad inferias")</p>
<p>last year why</p>
<p>well, we had to do a creative/poetic translation of it in latin and it was on my mind. n/m haha</p>
<p>i like that poem though, it's moving</p>
<p>i'm not the biggest horace fan. i mean i appreciate the
tu ne quaesieris, scire nefas, quem mihi quem tibi
finem di dederint poem but i'm just not into him.</p>
<p>Yeaaa not a latin scholar <em>feels left out</em></p>
<p>ilcapo you don't need financial aid.
lol at shrek's comment :p</p>
<p>sadly, enco, Princeton is kinda unfaithful...it has SO many lovers!</p>
<p>zante, you dont need fin aid so screw you! go back to your upper east side duplex you snob!</p>
<p>oh please ilcapo! I'm not the one talking about my 5th apartment or my wardrobe full of ralph lauren :p</p>
<p>if ilcapo gets financial aid im demanding more! haha. they obviously have extra money if they're gonna give you any :D</p>
<p>ahhh yes econo, his most famous one</p>
<p>how does the rest go in english</p>
<p>do not tempt babylonian numbers, the gods have an end for us all....
strain your wine...</p>
<p>(and then of course...argh, i wish my memory were better)</p>
<p>carpe diem, quam credens dammit, I dont remember, i only remember the english</p>
<p>pluck the day, trusting as little as possible in the next</p>
<p>I'm much more of a catullus guy than a horace man (haha, get it zante..btw, i hate HM, those swiffing snobs). The creative translation assignments were always my worst marks, i'm not a fricking poet. I remember trying to write rhyming couplets of iambic pentameter out of Ovid's metamorphoses, that was hard.</p>
<p>Anyway Econo, have you read the Aeneid, that's also got some great stuff.</p>
<p>And of course, the Iliad is nothing untill you've read it in the original Greek. I read in class today the opening lines and the scene where the two horses (i forget their greek names, they translate to brownie and spottie though) are crying over Patroklos, and Zeus says "what cruelty was it to place you, unaffected by age, with men, the most miserable of all things that creep across the earth."</p>
<p>amazing</p>
<p>wow, this is really long</p>
<p>you do realize his name is eNcomium, not economium?</p>
<p>thanks zante</p>
<p>yeah pyrrhus, what school do you go to? we don't have ancient greek, i want to take it in college though</p>
<p>i haven't read the aenied yet but we're doing book 2 in april</p>
<p>carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero</p>
<p>I still don't like horace. I know he's great, but, eh. I've heard that it's famous that latin people don't like horace until they're older and they can appreciate him better.</p>
<p>dei sub numine viget!</p>
<p>looks like nobody got that, ilcapo :cool:</p>
<p>what? princeton's motto...(s)he flourishes under the divinity of god.</p>
<p>actually it is</p>
<p>Dei sub numine viget - Under God's power she flourishes</p>
<p>she and he are identical in Latin verbs, and numine literally means divine being or divinity, power is a loose translation.</p>
<p>i hate not knowing latin</p>
<p>but i do know esperanto if that counts for something!!</p>
<p>Whoa...I remember when I had an itch to learn esperanto. Then I developed my loathing for artificial languages...still, nice job.</p>
