The username's from a Discworld book
however I do have A-level Latin: ask me anything about Tacitus' Annals book XV or Virgil's Aeneid book VI.

My school didn't offer Greek or I'd have taken it, I adored Classics.

Don't be scared: I was going to do Latin at uni until I cocked up my Tacitus paper and actually ended up somewhere much better! Where are you hoping to go, to do what, and all those other questions I have no doubt you're sick of by now?

The underworld and those two gates, to do with the morning and evening or something?
I did Annales I (The soldiers are revolting; I know, I can smell them from here), Aeneid IV and XII, Cicero's Pro Roscio Amerino, and Juvenal's Satire III.

I love Classics too- my username is from Aristophanes. I'm hoping to go to KCL to do Classics, if I miss my offer I'll go to Edinburgh, if I miss THAT I'm fucked. What did you do?

Yep; he can enter at dusk but must leave by dawn.
Wish my copy was here and not at my parents' house, I'm dying to read it again now. Tacitus is fantastic, I really enjoyed Annals; the bit we did was all about Nero so it was fantastically decadent and over-the-top.

I've not read much Aristophanes; had to read The Birds for uni as I did a wild Classics module but don't remember much about it, to my shame. Initially I was going to do French and Latin at Exeter (or else at St Andrews) but I got something ludicrously bad and ended up with French and Italian at Kent, which I adored :)
