4 posts | 11 read | 6 to read
Of all Greek and Latin poets Catullus is perhaps the most accessible to the modern reader. Dealing candidly with the basic human emotions of love and hate, his virile, personal tone exerts a powerful appeal on all kinds of readers. The 116 poems collected in this new translation include the famous Lesbia poems and display the full range of Catullus's mastery of lyric meter, mythological themes, and epigrammatic invective and wit. About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Day 5: Catullus the Complete Poems translated by Guy Lee

Catullus made me love Latin poetry, more specifically Latin love poetry. His poetry influenced my entire twenties I reckon in terms of education and then early career path.

I have to respect someone that can write incredibly beautiful and thoughtful poems as well as incredibly effective invective poems.

quietlycuriouskate I am. Latin A-level and the first year of a Classics degree (before a lot of 💩 hit the fan) over twenty years ago! I was specialising in the poets, especially Catullus and Ovid. 6y
Sophoclessweetheart @River_Voice That‘s so amazing. I‘m sorry you never got to finish it! I am in my third year of my classics degree right now x 6y
quietlycuriouskate We're clearly trading amazement today 😁. I find it extraordinary and wonderful that people are still studying classics. I wish you all the best with your degree! ❤ 6y
