Junior Dylan Paglee wrote a story in Arabic III to retell Aristophanes’ account of the two lovers that Zeus split in half, forever to look for their long lost love. Here’s a rough translation of the story completed by his Arabic teacher, Mr. Hamd: “There was a myth in Greece. In the story two people were in one body. Zeus chose to cut the people in two. For that reason they look for each other, this is their life.” At Latin, the richness of the modern language and classical language curriculum allows students to make complex connections between worlds and cultures.
