Fabulae Prodigiosae: Two Psychic Dreams in Cicero. Spooky Latin. #latin #ancientrome #stoicism

Two weird and spooky Latin stories. These stories are told by Cicero's brother Quintus in the discussion in Cicero's De Divinatione. Quintus is suggesting that dream divination is real and accepted by the Stoics. The first dream is the text of Cicero himself. The second dream is also originally in Cicero, but it has been retold by R.C. Reeves in his book 'Horrenda.' The texts of these stories will be on our blog: https://lupusalatus.substack.com You can read more about our own spooky, weird book on Erictho in Lucan's Phrasalia here: https://lupusalatus.com/erictho #spookyseason #lingualatina #ancientrome #halloween #latin #latinlanguage #latinliterature #learnlatin #romanliterature #spooky pooky
