Annotated Latin Texts for Teaching

I have used all three of these texts in teaching second-year Latin at the University of Alabama. Propertius 2.29 is one of the best and subtlest love-poems ever written, and not too difficult for second-year students. The epigrams of Martial collected here are all those that are both short and easy and (relatively) funny, as well as not too filthy. Finally, the story of Androclus and the Lion is deservedly famous. Each can be viewed in various formats: bare text (if you already know Latin), notes or vocabulary (if you have a text of your own), or combinations of these (T-N = text plus notes without vocabulary, N-V = notes plus vocabulary without text, and so on). The texts of Propertius and Martial have the long vowels marked with an acute accent, partly because macrons are not easily available on the web, partly because acute accents are what the Romans used when they marked quantities.

I have now (November, 2000) added PDF versions of these for easy printing. These are exact copies of the original annotated texts from which the HTML files were made. They are copyrighted, but may be reproduced ad libitum for bona fide non-profit classroom use. I would appreciate hearing about any such use. In fact, if anyone has any strong opinion on which is better here, PDF or HTML, please let me know.
