More Description
Iter Iuliae is a Latin novella about voice, bravery, family, and friendship. A young girl called Iulia embarked her own journey. Iulia is born into a merchant family in Ancient Rome and loves to read. One day, something magical happens -- Iulia meets 3 girls and goddesses she has read about in books-- Daphne, Medusa, and Arachne -- in her dreams! Now, Daphne, Medusa, and Arachne recount their own stories, making their voices heard in the story. When Iulia wakes up, she decides to become a writer and make more women's voices heard. Iter Iuliae covers topics including women's status in the economic sphere, Ovid's Metamorphoses, and gender ideology in ancient Rome.
This novella is designed for Latin II and III students who are interested in studying the underrepresentation of women in Roman literature and archaeology. While Iter Iuliae is written with introductory level latin, it contains latin vocabulary about trade and weaving in Ovid's writing to help students get used to reading classical texts in the future. Due to the nature of the story, the novella also contains sensitive materials that might not be suitable for all readers.
