Thressa's Daughter Talks with Her Mother -Uses of the ablative case




Independent Work. On a sheet of notebook paper respond to the True False (Vera, Falsa) questions. Then identify uses of the ablative case.

Background: Theressa (her names means a woman from Thrace, which encompassed part of Bulgaria and Greece; the Thracians, a name given to a diverse group of warrior tribes by the Greeks, then adopted by the Romans, did not think of themselves as "Thracian" they identified with their tribe of origin in a largely mountainous and rough region. An analogous example would be calling all native Americans "Indians") At any rate, she is far from home, with a daughter (filia) working on the Cornelii estate.

Free write: write a paragraph from the point of view of one of the two female slaves (filia, Theressa) expressing one or more responses to the Geta, Geta's escape, Davus and Geta's branding of the slave Geta. The daughter says she is worried. What sort of things do you think slaves might be worried about in this situation?

Include ideas that have come up in your previous readings about Roman slavery.  Does it make a difference that it is not the master but another slave who punishes Geta?  Do you think other slaves on the estate would be on Geta's side, hoping he succeeds in his escape, or feel frightened and unsettled by the misbehavior of a disgruntled slave?  Geta is presented as a lazy slave. Would this make a difference in your response?  Would you support the choices of Davus? How would you, if you were a slave,  respond to Geta after his punishment?
