Part III

Please translate the story of the Rape of Lucretia (Page 47)

Tarquinius, the king of Rome, and Tarquinius the 6th was the son of the evil tyrant. Lucretiam the 6th, who's wife was Collatini, was raped, a good woman, because of her great love of virtue, killed herself. Ancient Romans always praise the virtue and heart of Lucretiae and blame Tarquinios.




When finished, please work on your blog; I would like you to visit the 'Heroes' page at the Walters (in preparation for our Jan 16th field trip), find out what hero you would be, and research the depiction of that hero in art. What clothes, weapons, other attributes always identifies the hero (for example, if my hero was Superman, I'd say: blue tights, red cape, big letter 's'!)

  1. Nice job on the parsing.

    Your translation could use some work:

    Tarquinius, WAS the king of Rome and Tarquinius the 6th was the EVIL son of the tyrant. SEXTUS RAPED Lucretiam, THE wife OF Collatini. THE good woman, because of her great love of virtue, killed herself. Ancient Romans always praise the virtue and heart of Lucretiae and blame Tarquin.
