NOPE. we were told to translate to 795 because it stops half way through!

this is the thing, my Terry Bird text with running vocab goes up to line 792, OCR say 792, but my teacher printed off notes for us up to 795 - think he has OCD and has to complete the sentence :rolleyes:

seems odd to finish on a semicolon! well 3 more lines isn't too mcuh more I guess - better be safe than sorry?

Knowing the dodgy exam board OCR, I think it's fair to say it's worth going the extra 3 lines :wink:

It could be on:

The character of Aeneas
The importance of omens and prophecy
The destructive horror of war
Family bonds and duty to the family
The role of the gods

Or the benefits of troy's destruction, maybe.

For the ten markers, we'll probably be asked about the various similes.

Oh, and the end, how is it sad, or something along those lines. And I go up to line 795 :tongue:

What does Anchises mean when he says "the loss of a tomb is easy" - something like facilis iactura sepulcri?

My translation is: 'The loss of my burial is of no account'. I think he means that it doesn't matter if he is buried (which is shocking because back then to not be buried was considered a very bad thing :wink:

)

It means that he will be able to bear the idea of not being buried.

This is particularly striking since the Romans placed great importance on proper burial. This is clearly a sign of his utter despair

Did anyone else totally freak out when they didn't recognise any of the text on the first page before realising there were 2 sections?! I didn't even notice the Pythius/Canius blunder - I didn't really read the question well enough!
