Latin: Cat in the Hat & Oxford Latin Course

[julifish.livejournal.com]

A few icons with Latin text. Two from Cat in the Hat (or as Latin says, "The hatted cat") and three from the Oxford Latin Course books.They're kind of silly, but fun. Enjoy!

Cattus Petasatus

1. 2.

Oxford Latin Course

These are rather silly, but I wanted to make some icons from the books and there are few of the cartoons that have short enough phrases. If there are any Oxford readers out there who want one of the other cartoons, let me know! :)

3. 4. 5.

If you take any, please comment here and credit in keywords. I greatly appreciate feedback. And please feel free to make requests. :)

Hope you enjoy!

Edit:

Forgive me. Here are the translations.

1. See me! Watch me! Now praise my tricks!
2. I see mother coming, now seeking (making for, heading for) our house!
3. Argus is good.
4. Argus and Fidus are bad
5. The conspirators attacked Caesar from all sides.

Unfortunately, the Cat in the Hat ones make more sense and sound much better in Latin than they do in the English translation! Sorry I forgot to post these right off the bat! :)

But what do they say!?

[itsjustkelly.livejournal.com]

From my knowledge of French, I think #3 is "Arugs is a gift." And #4 might be "Argus and Fidus are bad."

[robyngoodfellow.livejournal.com]

I thought it was "Argus is good"...

[itsjustkelly.livejournal.com]

Bonus... I tought "good" was more like bene, as in benevolant, benefactor. In French "bon" can mean "gift," so I just connected those two... but now that I think about it, "bon" in French is "good," too (and more frequently). Oops.

[julifish.livejournal.com]

yeah, good work! Bene and bonus come from the same idea in latin. Bonus is the adjective (good) and bene the adverb (well). :) I didn't realize french was so close!

[itsjustkelly.livejournal.com]

Oh!!! Like bien = well, and bon = good. ::nerdily fascinated::

[julifish.livejournal.com]

Yay for nerds! :)

[julifish.livejournal.com]

I've posted translations. :) Sorry about that.

[robyngoodfellow.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thanks. I guessed right for 3 and 4, but the rest had me stumped.

Latin students unite! I wish my Latin text books had had funny looking cartoons like that. I'm taking (and crediting) the Caesar one, because it's so comical, my Classics friends will get it :)

[julifish.livejournal.com]

Hehe...thanks! :) What text are you using? Wheelocks? I hear those are pretty good too.

[graniaailionora.livejournal.com]

Was using, my school has a three year for the Latin elective courses for high school, so grade 11 (last year) was my LAST YEAR of Latin for high school. We used the North American Fourth Edition Cambridge Latin Course texts (Unit 4 for the final year), with the story of Caecilius and his family from Pompeii. They are good (so far as I know) they just didn't have the amusing cartoons of Julius Caesar's assassination :D

Latin Cat In The Hat! These are awesome; I translated that last year. I'm taking both, and I'll credit you. :)

[julifish.livejournal.com]

Cool! Thanks. :)

OXFORD READERS! I still have mine! Oh god, and it was the author's wife who did the illustrations, I believe, god they were so horrible and hilarious! Oh, many a latin class was spent making fun of them....ah, the memories.

[julifish.livejournal.com]

His WIFE? Wow...that makes it a lot worse. I heard that it was his young daughter!!

Yeah, see...I knew people would have great attachments to those pictures. I do. They were just (as you said so well) horrible AND hilarious.

*grins* I'm glad to have brought back fun memories. :)

I am really keen on number five. Am taking for future use.

Thank you! :)

[julifish.livejournal.com]

Cool. Thanks! :)

[master-cobweb.livejournal.com]

Heehee! I took 4. Will credit. How cool!

[margotheangel.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha, I love these. I took the Caesar one.

[afterannabel.livejournal.com]

I took #5, because it is clearly the best thing ever.

[spainplease.livejournal.com]

Ha x 1,000,000. I so learned Latin from the Oxford Latin Course. I'm taking #4.

[celtic-songster.livejournal.com]

Holy cow, Oxford Latin! I learned Latin out of these; I remember my class was so sad when the dog died before we got to book three. What terrible illustrations those were! Thank you for making the icons!
