Latin/English dialogues

The Consolation of Philosophy

Latin and English dialogues
Latin only dialogues

Boethius wrote his Consolation of Philosophy in the prison where he died in the early 6th century AD. In this piece the muses Philosophy and Fortune visit him on the point of death. Boethius tries to adhere to Philosophy's teaching on the status of the soul, the meaning of goodness and his own predicament - in her view nowhere near as bad as it may appear - while Fortune lurks menacingly with her more short-lived distractions.
(6th century pronunciation) 

Cleopatra's Kitchen

See Rome's fantasy figure, the menace of the east: Cleopatra prepares her weapons of mass destruction. See film scenes.
