Re: 2019 HSNCT discussion

For people who take Latin and have no idea what the first clue was talking about, the "separation" clue could have caused quite a few negs, since the ablative of separation is a very common construction in Latin, much more so than the dative of separation. I might just be speaking for myse...

Re: 2019 HSNCT discussion

May I please see the tossup on the dative case? I negged this with ablative on "separation" and just want to see some of the clues.

This (https://www.naqt.com/stats/tournament/t ... _id=165342) performance from Churchill seems to point to good things at MSNCT. Also this (https://www.naqt.com/stats/tournament/t ... _id=157752) from a (mostly middle school) Hunter C.

Re: MSNCT predictions

I think either Challenger-Almaden or Churchill will win. Teams to watch out for are probably Hunter, Hopkins, Midtown (I know), Aptakisic, Quest, and Barrington.

Just in terms of Greco-Roman myth, buying copies of Edith Hamilton's "Mythology" and Morford and Lenardon's "Classical Mythology" would probably be a good idea, as well as reading the Iliad, Odyssey, and Aeneid (obviously other sources like the Theogony and Metamorphoses have alr...

Re: Specific Question Discussion Thread

This is just a minor issue, but the chimera tossup from round 1 incorrectly gives the name of the husband of Antea (Stheneboea) as Proteus. It should be Proetus.

I actually answered with "diamond" for this (in hindsight, probably not that great of a guess), and it wasn't taken. Apparently the answer read: gemstone (accept obvious equivalents).

Re: Specific Question Discussion

It appears that it is from one of the more obscure arias from the opera, "E Izaghi ed Izanami." "Pigri ed obesi son gli Dei giapponesi." --- the part referenced by the tossup.

Re: OCTAVIAN - A Classics Tournament

Considering that it has already been played at one site (VCU), do you think that there will be an online mirror of this in the near future? I know that I would love to give this tournament a shot, but, like so many others, can’t attend an actual mirror site.
