wait wait--- was it the Aeneid? Vergil? Not that I remember that at all.
I took six years of Latin. The only thing that really sticks in my mind is the semester we did Ovid, for obvious reasons. OH, and Winnie Ille Pooh.

EDIT!!!! Aeneas!! Yes Arma virumque cano-- now I remember you guys had a big debate on Feelies about the translation-
was it a man or the man..
