You need to take a Latin text passage and explain how it has influenced culture that came after Rome — whether in English literature, science, philosophy, or other areas. You'll show this influence by linking the original Latin idea or phrase to later examples, and prove your points with specific references and quotes from both the Latin source and what came after.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
What you actually do
- ·Break down a Latin text passage using your knowledge of Latin language and culture to identify key ideas, themes, or attitudes
- ·Find specific connections and links between what the Latin text says and how it shows up again in later cultures (like English literature, science, religion, or philosophy)
- ·Make clear inferences about how the Latin text actually influenced what came later — whether that influence was direct or indirect
- ·Support your analysis with evidence: quote both the Latin passage and the later cultural work, then explain what each quote shows
- ·Write your explanations clearly in English so a reader understands exactly how the Latin text shaped something that came after
