This paper not only demonstrates the linguistic connections that link poems 4 and 64, but also shows how critically important this self-referentiality is to the interpretation of poem 4, and furthermore suggests something about its placement within the Catullan corpus.
Catullus, then, is comparing his little bean-pod ship to the princeps of ships, the legendary Argo.

 Readings for Latin 202, Latin Poetry (2002)
Gaius Valerius Catullus was born at Verona in Northern Italy.
Though Catullus apparently belonged to a group of stylish young poets, called the neoteroi (Ïnew poets -- we might be tempted to call them the avante garde), of this group's production only his poetry survived the ravages of time and taste.
At home again in Belmont, they tease and banter merrily about these trinkets until it is revealed to the amazed men that Portia was the acute doctor of laws and Nerissa her clerk, and Portia hands Antonio a letter telling him of the safe arrival of three of his most valued ships.

Like the Iliad and Odyssey, like the Argonautica, Catullus 64 is a poem highly self-conscious about the relationship of the present to the past.
If there is, as many believe, an analogy between Catullus’ backward glance over the mythological past and his self-consciousness about his own relationship to the tradition of past epic poetry, what image of Catullus as poet emerges?
Catullus 64 radically inverts the relationship between epic narrative and the conventional "digression," giving us the framing story of the marriage of Peleus and Thetis in 166 lines (1-49, 267-383), while the inset description of the coverlet on their marriage bed occupies 217 lines (50-266).

 Latin 110
Catullus is a fascinating source for both Roman literary developments and for Roman social and cultural history in the turbulent period of the Late Republic.
We begin with an introduction to the Rome of Catullus' day, the meters of his poetry and the background of the poetry of Hellenistic Alexandria.
We read selections of Catullus covering various thematic units of his oeuvre: short, epigrammatic poems; the "Lesbia" poems; invective; and the longer, "mini-epic" poem, or epyllion, # 64.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2005.01.05
One of the surprising things about Catullan scholarship, given the nearly universal prominence of Catullus in Latin curricula, is that it has been hard to find introductions to the poet that are at once reliable and readable.
Hurley does a good job of pointing out where our evidence is unreliable while still acknowledging that the life of Catullus as reconstructed in the nineteenth century has taken on a life of its own and has to be reckoned with even though it may not, in every respect, be accurate.
Hurley's discussion of poem 64, for example, relies heavily on Fitzgerald's stimulating chapter in Catullan Provocations, but one wishes that she had gone further, perhaps expanding her comments about belatedness and the morality of contemporary Rome with reference to work by David Konstan and others.

64 combines the aesthetic and the moral: In its allusiveness and complexity, the poem seems to call attention to its status as a refined work of art.
At the same time, it insists on an ethical reading, inviting judgment of Theseus' betrayal of Ariadne and the sacrifice of Polyxena, which coexist with the glamorous nuptials of Peleus and Thetis.
64 and the Hesiodic Shield of Herakles (the point of such parallels remains unexplained); and in the strongest part of the essay he presents a case, which unfortunately is not fully developed, for the epyllion as a play of shifting perspectives and generic codes.

Catullus' longer poems (61-68) feature two marriage hymns (61-62), the self-mutilation of a religious fanatic (63), the masterful 'mini-epic' on the wedding of Peleus and Thetis that also tells the story of Theseus and Ariadne (64) and the elegy on Catullus' lover, the Trojan War, and the death of his brother (68).
The poems deal with winners and losers in land confiscations, singing contests and master-singers, and the madness of love; the famous Fourth ECLOGUE draws heavily on Catullus 64 to predict the birth of a wonder-child who will usher in a Golden Age.
We will read all of Catullus' longer poems and the ECLOGUES, studying each both as a self-contained work, and as it relates to the others; we will also examine aspects of continuity and change from the neoteric poetry of Catullus to the earliest Augustan verse of Vergil.

 Benjamin S. Low Curriculum Vitae
My dissertation explores the use of Catullus 64 in the Aeneid as Virgil's most important model of Roman epic.
While Homer and Ennius serve as generic archetypes for the poem, Virgil's allusions to Catullus' epyllion show that in important ways he privileges neoteric poetics over earlier Roman epic.
Through close examination of these allusions, along with many others in the Georgics and, especially, the Eclogues, I reveal the importance of Catullus 64 as a generic and poetic model for Virgil's epic.

But first I needed to effect some kind of transition from the Greeks to the Romans, which I did by way of a handout I'd created last semester that gives a very concise historical overview of everthing from the neolithic era to the fall of the Roman Empire in two pages.
That sets the stage for a brief explanation of the neoterics in first century BCE Rome, and we're off with Peleus sailing on the Argo in Catullus 64.
It was immediately apparent that the Aeneid, as an epic poem, was extremely narrative, and did not lend itself as well to the kind of close reading we had just done with Catullus 64.
