Hodie coepi discipulus apud scholam cantandi. Semper pudor adest novis in inceptis, sed placuit.

I recently had some inspiration for a Dungeons & Dragons themed pun, but I had to write a poem in #Latin elegiac couplets to make it truly work. I realize I'm targeting a niche audience here, so I've included an English translation and some explanation below.

Quandocumque placet ludum hunc agitare draconum,
praetori bilis confluit in stomacho.
Namque poeta mihi sapientia verba probavit
expressitque suo carmine: carpe DieM.

Every time I get to play this awesome game of dragons,
our Dungeon Master feels an anger rising strong inside.
The problem seems to be I like to listen to the poets
and Horace taught me well his words of wisdom: carpe DM.

For those who don't know Latin: the phrase 'carpe diem' is traditionally translated in English as 'seize the day,' though it literally means 'pluck the day.' However, when used with a person, the verb 'carpe' can also mean slander.

New instance, new #introduction, after moving here from @historians.social. I've been on the Fediverse since 2022, and I wish there were more ancient Mediterranean people here.

I am a mature-aged ancient history and classical languages student at the University of Queensland (in Brisbane, Australia). I've completed one post-graduate diploma in ancient history and Latin, and I've enrolled in a second for more ancient history and ancient Greek.

After six months off, I'm back to advanced ancient Greek this semester. Euripides FTW.

The broad plan is to pursue postgraduate studies in the next few years, depending on the day job and other commitments.

Traducir textos al latín me está ayudando a entender mejor la gramática de ese magnífico idioma. Y también descubrir el origen y contexto de algunas palabras que usamos hoy en día.

Son textos en inglés, como no podía ser de otra manera. Pero al menos tengo recursos suficientes para proseguir.
