7. Ablatives What you know so far…
the preposition “in” is followed by an ablative and expresses “in” or “on” in English, e.g.
In silvīs sunt fēminae.
“There are women in the forests.”
In viā habitō.
“I live on the street.”
This is termed the Ablative of Place Where (duh!)
What I’m telling you now…
the preposition “cum” is followed by an ablative and expresses “with” whom an action is being done (it has to be people!) in English
Poētam cum filiīs rēgīna laudat.
The queen is praising the poet with her daughters.
This is termed the Ablative of Accompaniment (think, think about it!)

8. Accusatives What you know so far…
In certain types of sentences, two nouns are equated to one another using est (“is”) and sunt (“are”), e.g.
Puellae fīliae sunt.
“The girls are daughters.”
The term for this type of sentence is a linking verb sentence. The subject (“girls”), as always, must be in the nominative case. The predicate noun (“daughters”) is also in the nominative.
What you kind of know already…
In another type of sentence, one noun acts upon another noun, e.g.
Poēta fābulam narrat.
“The poet tells his tale.”
The term for this type of sentence is an action verb sentence. The subject (“the poet”), as always, must be in the nominative case. The noun acted upon (“tale”) is called the direct object and must be in the accusative case.

9. Appositives
An appositive is a noun which is used to rename or give further information about another noun, e.g.
I am await the Potions Master, Severus Snape.
Queen Elizabeth is very fond of Corgies.
Severus Snape and Elizabeth are the appositives.
In Latin, appositives must share the same case as the nouns to which they are in apposition, e.g.
Greece is the homeland of Queen Helen.
Patria rēginae Helenae Graecia est.
Quintus loves Crispina, the daughter of the farmer.
Quīntus Crispīnam, fīliam agricolae, amat.

12. Saturn Devours His Children, Franciso Goya, c. 1815
Cronus swallows the Olympians:
Demeter/Ceres, Hera/Juno,
Hestia/Vesta,Hades/Pluto, Poseidon/Neptune,
but not Zeus!
“Late in life, suffering from deafness, witness to many horrors, he retired to his house and covered the walls with nightmarish devil-worshippers, subhuman monsters, and other haunting images, including a representation of Saturn devouring his children.”
Begin telling story of Cronus and Rhea.
Cronus is acting out of fear of a successor, predicted by his own father Ouranos
Note how he has now transitioned from the role of trickster to ogre -> he has become his father!
Rhea is distraught at the horrific treatment of her children and seeks out help from Gaia and Ouranos; Gaia supplies her with a solution to her problem.
Note the ambivalence or ambiguity of Gaia, who had previously helped Cronus reach his current position.
She is instructed by her parents to travel to Crete to give birth to her next child.

13. Zeus Against Cronus: The Battle with the Titans
Zeus overthrows Cronus
The stone vomited out and became used as the omphalos in Delphi
omphalos: bellybutton of world
Angry with this outcome the Titans
attack Zeus the other Olympians:
Titanomachy
Somehow Zeus bests Cronus, although Hesiod is rather vague on how.
one tradition holds that Metis offers up an emetic and once the other Olympians are discharged they dispose of Cronus together
Titans take up residency on one mountain; the Olympians move into Mt. Olympus
Battles rage for 10 years until:
