She received her Masters in Greek and Latin from the University of Vermont and her BA in classics from Baylor University. She is a beloved professor at UVM known for her passion, her humor, and her knowledge. She teaches courses in all levels of Greek and Latin language and literature as well as in translation. She especially enjoys teaching “Shakespeare and the Classical Tradition.” Her scholarly interests include the late Republican and Augustan periods, Roman epic and elegy (especially Ovid), Greek and Roman theater, and classical reception. She lovingly serves as Magistra Ludorum of the annual Vermont Latin Day and as sponsor for UVM’s Goodrich Classical Club and Iota chapter of Eta Sigma Phi, the national classics honors society. She published Ovid’s Women of the Year: Narratives of Roman Identity in the Fasti in 2016. Chiu is

Teaching Tip: A Latin Story to Accompany Latin for the New Millennium, Level 1, Chapter 8
|
This is the sixth in a series of seven stories to accompany chapters 3–9 in LNM 1. While complementary to LNM , the stories can serve all first-year Latin students.
This story recounts how the queen of Halicarnassus, Artemisia I of Caria, fought as an ally of Xerxes against Themistocles. She led her naval forces in both the Battles of Artemisium and Salamis and offered valuable counsel to the Persian king.
The German painter Wihelm von Kaulbach (1804–1875) shows an imagining of the
Battle of Salamis. This naval battle was fought in 480 BCE by the Athenian politician
and general Themistocles against Xerxes and his Persian forces. Artemisia can be
seen in a golden cuirass as she draws a bow and arrow against the Greeks.

Artemisia
Artemisia rēgina Halicarnassiōrum est. Nōn sōlum rēgina est sed etiam dux est et homō valdē fortis.
Xerxēs, rēx Persārum, cōnsilium capit et bellum contrā Graecōs gerit. Quod Artemisia socia Xerxis est, debet dare auxilium Persīs. Cum rēge Persārum contrā Graecōs bellum parat.
Halicarnassiī multōs mīlitēs fortēs et multās nāvēs habent. Nāvēs Halicarnassiōrum firmant classem Persārum quod magnae et fortēs sunt. Mīlitēs armātī optimī sociōrum sunt. Artemisia dēcernit ad Graeciam navigāre. Dēcernit iubēre mīlitēs contrā Graecōs pugnāre. Rēgina timore non movētur.
Prope Salamīnem, Themistoclēs et mīlitēs armātī in nāvibus sunt. Artemisia cōnsilium Themistoclis intellegit. Quamquam rēgina dīcit petere Graecōs periculōsum esse, Xerxēs tamen dēcernit petere Graecōs. Rēx Persārum nōn longē ā pugnā manet et exspectat. Miser Xerxēs videt mīlitēs Graecōs vincere Persās.
Xerxēs quoque videt ducem Artemisiam in nāve esse et ad Graecōs navigāre. Videt Artemisiam magnā fortitūdine movērī et nāvēs Graecās multās vincere. Dux fortis fēmina factī.
Posteā Xerxēs dolet quod multī Persae mortuī sunt. Rēx autem magnō gaudiō movētur quod Artemisia exemplum fortitūdinis est et cōnsilium bonum dat. Praemia magna et pulchra Artemisiae dat. Dēcernit cōnsilia Artemisiae semper audīre. Nunc Graecī in memoriā Artemisiam habent quod exemplum praeclarum fortitūdinis est.
