Daedalus and Icarus: A Tiered Reader is not a typical intermediate Latin reader.
Instead of using extensive vocabulary glosses and grammatical notes, this reader uses "tiered readings" of increasing complexity. These tiers allow readers of varying ability to begin reading right away, thus improving their Latin language proficiency as they move from simple, adapted readings to original, authentic Latin texts by the Roman authors Ovid and Hyginus.
This volume includes marginal glosses of less common Latin vocabulary, illustrations, and a full glossary.
