Abstract

One of the ultimate objectives for the teaching of secondary Latin cited as valid in "The Report of the Classical Investigation” is the development of an appreciation of the literary qualities of the Latin author read, and a great appreciation of the elements of literary technique employed in prose and verse. For this reason, inasmuch as a study of the figures of speech in Vergil contributes to these ends, and inasmuch as a teacher of Vergil ought to have this knowledge, I consider this subject a fitting topic for a thesis.
