Summit Latin:  3 Upcoming Events:.  

• Here is a sign up if you know you are coming – you can still come without signing up, but this will help with the number of pizzas!
• Here is a sign up genius to bring cookies/water. 
• The event rotates between 4 influential works of classical literature:  Homer’s Iliad, Homer’s Odyssey, Vergil’s Aeneid, and Ovid’s Metamorphoses.  This year, the event will focus on 14 stories from Ovid’s Metamorphoses.   
• The Latin poet Ovid wrote the Metamorphoses in the 1^st century AD during the reign of the emperor Augustus.  It contains over 200 stories of mythological transformation.  The stories range from the tragic tale of Pyramus & Thisbe (the inspiration for Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo & Juliet’) to the story of Narcissus and Echo (the origin of the narcissus flower and the words narcissistic and echo) to the morbid account of the impious Erysichthon (who literally ‘eats’ himself to death).   
• The event is for all Latin students, grades 6-12.  It is voluntary/optional. Parents, siblings, and friends are invited. No need to sign up, just show up!
• It is 6:00-8:30. There will be pizza!
• The event includes art projects, student-made movies, and ‘Jeopardy!’-style competitions.

  • 6:00-6:30: munch on pizza and look at the projects
  • 6:30-7:30: special presentation by UC Classics graduate student Michelle Lessard on art inspired by the Metamorphoses
  • 7:30-8:00: watch some video projects by the students
  • 8:00-8:30: buzzer game (certamen), all questions are about the Metamorphoses – first 6th grade, then 7th and 8th, last US students – ribbons and chocolate to the winners!
• (7th-12th grades) Sat Nov 7:  University of Cincinnati certamen – flier with parking and campus map
  • study guides:  study outline for second and third certamina    Civilization and History packet p 1-19    Medusa.Exam.2004.Transformations.Quizzes     Medusa.Exam.2004.Transformations.Guide

• Sat Nov 14, 7:00, Hadestown at CHCA:  (This is a message from Brian Compton, Latin teacher at CHCA).  This fall, Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy is putting on a production of Hadestown Teen Edition, and we want to invite you and your students to join us! We have been very excited about this since it was announced last school year, and many of our Latinists are taking part backstage and front of stage, including the two young ladies playing Eurydice and Persephone. To make our presence known, we would like to invite you to come 7:00 PM Saturday, November 14^th AND WEAR TOGAS! We’ve been assured that our students in the production will come out and join us for a toga picture post-show, and it would be awesome to get as many people as possible involved. We’re also looking at a doing a dinner get-together at school pre-show – details on that later.  Here is the link for tickets: https://cur8.com/17182/project/140936 Tickets are $12 + $1.46 for processing.
