Episode 4.1: TSTT-training: The Trojan War

 

vir callidus Recentiōs ad partem aulae dūxit. nōmen eius erat Odysseus.

 

Odysseus nōn clāmābat, neque īrātus erat. dē bellō iam diū cōgitābat.

 

"ego sciō," inquit. "Agamemnōn bellum vult, sed cēterī rēgēs dubitant. nōs iūstam causam dare dēbēmus."

 

Odysseus Recentiōs spectāvit.

 

"Menelāus hospes Paridis erat. Paris fidem frēgit. hoc iniūstum est. sī prō bellō dīcētis, dīcite dē honōre et dē fidē."

 

iam Recentiī ante omnēs rēgēs stābant.

 


 quid Recentiī rēgibus dīcunt?

 

Option A: Octāviāna prō bellō dīcit: "fidēs sacra est. Graecī Menelāum iuvāre dēbent."

 

Option B: Bellātor contrā bellum dīcit: "bellum multōs interficiet. cūr pugnāmus?"
