Itaque incipit...

This blog is, first and foremost, a collection of my own thoughts and reactions to passages of Vergil, specifically what we have been reading in the AP Vergil class that I teach.  The posts will undoubtedly vary greatly in method, as in some passages individual words or phrases may strike me, while in others I may respond more to broader, underlying themes.  Questions and comments are welcome and encouraged (and my students should know that extra credit will be given for insightful, intelligent, or interesting questions and responses - just make sure that I know who you are!).
