latin is a pretty weird class. we sit around and learn how to say things like "the slave's blood splatters on the ground as he is torn apart by lions". and learn about roman food/weddings/how the romans sacraficed animals to the gods. it can be really really really boring sometimes, especially when we are conjugating endless verbs, but then we learned something kind of weird/sick/out of the ordinary and the class becomes a bit more bearable.
in the past two days, i found out that cleopatra married her younger brother. he was ten and she was eighteen. might just say that i am hugely glad that i do not have a little brother. and then we found out that julius ceasar's big rival, pompey, was caesar's son-in-law. b/c caesar had his fifteen/sixteen/underage daughter marry pompey who was fifty at the time...that would be like me marrying...i don't know...hugh laurie. except if hugh laurie wasn't hot. and finally, we learned, that the guy who killed caesar, brutus, might have been caesar's son. way to show the love. (yeah. we're reading about caesar right now in latin. is it that obvious???)
