temporibus  \n# Author's Preface\n\nWith Labyrinthus,I once again tried my hand atadapting a well-known myth into a modern youngadult novel.The problem with the Puer ex Seripbonovellas is that,with a unique word cout of around300 words,they were inaccessible to my lower levelstudents.I wanted something that my first-year Latinstudents (or early second-year)could readindependently..The project began as a retelling of\"Theseus and the Minotaur,\"though the finishednovella focuses on neither Theseus nor the Minotaur.Rather,Ariadna is at the center,and the entire novellais told from her point-of-view.In my opinion,thisunusual shift in perspective allowed me to take thestory in interesting directions.Also,I liked the ideaof a female character starring in a generally male-driven myth.I didn't want Ariadna to play a passiverole in the story.  \nIn order to make this volume more accessableto novice Latin readers,I made extensive use ofcognates.This is the custom in many beginningSpanish or French novellas written for a similaraudience,and I have found in the classroom that useof such cognates helps give novice readers an earlyfoothold in the language—as well as really openingnew directions for the story to go.  \nSo what makes this novella different that,say,theaverage version of the myth found in a Latintextbook?Guided by language acquisition research,Itried to keep the following principles in mind as Iwrote:  \n1  \n(1)I frequently employed word-orderdeliberately similar to modern language word-order toclear up ambiguities(while trying to stay within thebounds of good Latinitas).  \n(2)I also strived to keep my sentences short.Ihave not\"sheltered\"grammatical elements,but ratherhave employed whatever verbs,nouns,or turns ofphrase are most clear and vivd in the moment.  \n(3)I did shelter vocabulary usage.The textassumes that the reader is familiar with roughly 120unique Latin words.The does not include alternateforms of the same word.Of the 120 words,45 arefairly clear English cognates.If cognates are excluded,that would bring the word count down to about 75unique words.These 75 words are indicated in the“Index Vocabularum”in bold typeface.  \n(4)I also provided generous vocabulary helpthroughout the text,in order to establish meaningthough pictures and footnotes.At all times,I wantedto err on the side of comprebensibility.  \nI would like to thank the Latin students in my2017-18 classes for test reading an early version of thepresent text,and especially my Latin III students whogave me useful ideas for improvement.As always,thisnovella would be much inferior without the carefuleditorial eye of Lance Piantaggini.  \nAndrew OlimpiHebron Christian Academy,2018  \nABOUT THE SERIES:  \nComprehensible Classics is a series of Latin novels forbeginning and intermediate learners of Latin.Thebooks are especially designed for use in a Latinclassroom which focuses on communication andComprehensible Input (rather than traditionalgrammar-based instruction).However,they certainlyare useful in any Latin classroom,and could evenprovide independent learners of Latin interesting andhighly-readable material for self-study.  \nFilia Regis et Monstrum HorribileComprehensible Classics\\#1:Level:BeginnerUnique Word Count:125
