	Catullus, U. of Saskatchewan
		Catullus' 116 poems are preserved in a single collection that seems to be the work of an ancient editor.
		Catullus does not seem to be indignant at any illegal activity on the part of these governors, however, but rather at the fact that neither he nor his friends were able to profit from their service as part of these governors' cohorts.
		Catullus thus represents a social as well as a literary phenomenon, providing us with a glimpse of the life and concerns of a wealthy and talented member of the equestrian class in the midst of the turmoil of the Late Republic.

	Catullus
		Catullus is described by Ovid as "hedera iuvenalia cinctus Tempora", a description somewhat more suitable to a man who dies in his thirtieth year than to one who dies three or four years later.
		The admiration of Catullus for Sappho, the Lesbian poetess, which is clearly indicated by the imitation of her language in his fifty-first and sixty-second poems, affords an obvious explanation of the Greek name which he gave to his Roman mistress.
		Catullus brought into this circle the genius of a great poet, the social vivacity of a vigorous nature, the simplicity and sincerity of an unambitious, and the warmth of an affectionate disposition.

	Gaius Valerius Catullus
		Catullus wrote about himself (2); his poems were about things that nobody but he and a few other poet friends would care about- the daily life and trials of a well to do intelligentsia who had nothing better to do but make fun of people and lust after another man’s wife.
		Catullus was not impressed with his family’s connections though, and made fun of the practice of networking in one of his poems: “I, pete nobiles amicos” (So much for running after powerful friends!).
		Catullus authored 116 poems that are divided into sixty short poems called polymetra, eight longer poems consisting of seven hymns and one mini-epic, and forty eight epigrams.

		Gaius Valerius Catullus is one of Rome's greatest surviving poets and also one of the most popular Latin authors.
		Although many scholars now believe that Catullus did publish his verse in one or more small volumes "(libelli), the theory that these books were rearranged after his death means that individual pieces continue to be read and analyzed separately, without reference to their placement within the collection.
		Skinner challenges this theory of posthumous editorship by offering a unified reading of Catullus' elegiac poetry (poems 65-116 in our collection) and arguing that it constitutes what was once a separately circulated libellus whose authorial arrangement has been preserved intact.
