Team Greek or Trojan?
Team Trojan all the way! We know so little about their culture, but it's fascinating to me; Anatolia connects Asia to Europe, and the resulting cultural exchanges would have made the area an absolute melting pot.
Favorite Latin Word?
velamen, velaminis: veil
Favorite Aspect of Latin?
Reading the words of Roman authors is so intimate. Being able to listen to the dreams, despairs and mundanities of the lives of people who died thousands of years ago is incredibly evocative.

Team Greek or Trojan?
Team Greek, because the Greeks weren't the ones who brought a giant gift from their enemies inside their walls after the enemies inexplicably left.
Favorite Latin Word?
I forgot them all..
Favorite Aspect of Latin?
I like Latin because I get to learn about the Romans and all of their awesome feats of engineering and strategy. Latin as a language is also really cool because of all the little differences in thinking between the Romans and us that it reveals. Plus, I get to be part of JCL, which is totally amazing.
