Reviews" Et Cetera is my Roman Empire. Literally. You would think a reference book of Latin phrases could not possibly make you cry. You would be wrong. Fresh, funny, and poignant [...] each lovingly illustrated phrase becomes a portal to a Rome we don't often see." (Eunice Hong, author of Memento Mori: A Novel), "A fascinating and beautiful introduction to Latin, infused with history and literature from the ancient world [...] it will intrigue even the staunchest of hellenophiles (like me)." (Liv Albert, creator of the Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! Podcast), "...a refreshing dusting-off of the genre of classical phrase compendiums, sure to appeal to a wide range of curious readers [...] Clearly a work of love, written by one of a new breed of classicists, this is a delightful following of Horace's inducement to make writing ' dulce et utile ,' both enjoyable and instructive--but you knew that, didn't you?" (Billy Collins, New York Times bestselling author and former U.S. Poet Laureate)

SynopsisA USA TODAY BESTSELLER AN NPR "BOOK WE LOVE" FOR SUMMER 2024 A gorgeously illustrated guide to memorable Latin phrases, including famous quotations on love, death, nature, politics, and more. Latin may be a "dead" language, but it's all around us--in science, philosophy, religion, and literature. From " carpe diem " to the more obscure " alea iacta est ," classicist Maia Lee-Chin examines the deeper meanings of many Latin phrases still in use--as well as those lost to the ages. Illustrated in artist Marta Bertello's haunting style, this unique compendium illuminates ancient Roman history and culture like never before.
