Topic: Catullus 96


  
  Catullus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Catullus and Callimachus did not describe the feats of ancient heroes and gods (except perhaps in re-evaluating and predominantly artistic circumstances, e.g.
Catullus was also an admirer of Sappho, a poetess of the 7th century BC, and is the source for much of what we know or infer about her.
Catullus 51 is a translation of Sappho 31, and 61 and 62 are certainly inspired by and perhaps translated directly from lost works of Sappho.

Catullus wrote to his beloved, addressed as Lesbia (to recall Sappho of Lesbos), a series of superb little poems that run from early passion and tenderness to the hatred and disillusionment that overwhelmed him after his mistress was faithless.
Catullus was an admirer of Sappho, and is the source for much of what we know or infer about that almost legendary poetess of the 7th century BC.
Catullus 61 and Catullus 62 are epithalamia, a form of laudatory or erotic wedding-poem that Sappho had been famous for but that had gone out of fashion in the intervening centuries.

 Dylan Bragg
Catullus wants to experience and enjoy life to the fullest and this huge number of kisses represents a lifetime of loving.
The joke is that Catullus, who has just uttered an outpouring of honest emotion, finishes off with an attempt to bargain with Lesbia like a shrewd salesman, appealing to her logic yet intending to satisfy his own desire.
While it is true that Catullus speaks very passionately of his anger and pain after he and Lesbia parted, even his saddest poems show a sense of optimism behind the curtain of cynicism.

Since Catullus is generally thought to have lived between 84 and 54 B. E., this manuscript was a copy of a copy of a copy...
Catullus made fun of Julius Caeser and one of his hechmen in his poems, but apologized and was easily forgiven.
Catullus is particularly well known for his rude and crude poetry which, however finely polished, astonishes us with vitriolic obscenities and gross violations of good taste.

 Martial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was educated in Hispania, a country which in the 1st century produced several notable Latin writers, including Seneca the Elder and Seneca the Younger, Lucan and Quintilian, and Martial's contemporaries Licinianus of Bilbilis, Decianus of Emerita and Canius of Gades.
Martial professes to be of the school of Catullus, Pedo, and Marsus, and admits his inferiority only to the first.
His final departure from Rome was motivated by a weariness of the burdens imposed on him by his social position, and apparently the difficulties of meeting the ordinary expenses of living in the metropolis (x.

 Magister White - Latin Meter and Scansion
Catullus uses this meter in poems 11 and 51.
When Catullus uses the meter seven times, he uses it against himself in 8, against Suffenus in 22, Egnatius in 39, Sestius in 44, Rufa in 59, Lesbia in 60, and once just as an expression of joy in 31.
Catullus uses the meter in only 62 and 64, but this style of line is also the beginning of every elegaic couplet which includes Ovid's Amores and Catullus 65-116.

And Catullus welcomes the wit that comes with a mastery of language, as well; the obvious example is the fact that all of his correspondence (or mock correspondence) appears in strict meter.
He says that Catullus is a Callimachean poet: “…lavishing care and attention on forms and subjects that would not traditionally have been deemed worthy of such care and attention…” (171).
Catullus devotes most of his work to these unconventional topics, finding poetry in commonplace matters much in the same way that the 1960’s Pop Art movement found beauty in every­day objects such as Campbell’s Soup cans and cigarette butts.

Catullus’ treatment of the subject is more tongue-in-cheek however; the mock-heroic journey of the sparrow to the underworld and the poet’s exaggerated lamentations barley conceal his jealousy of the bird, and his delight in its unexpected demise.
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 middle class in the midst of the turmoil of the Late Republic.
Catullus notes that the prized villa of Furius, although pleasant, is mortgaged to the hilt, and is in fact, a burden to him.

The groundbreaking use of language in Catullus is discussed, as is the use of myth in both Propertius and Catullus.
This can be exhibited in different ways: for example, in his poems Catullus sees his Lesbia very much as a love object, since he often makes wild claims about his incredible love for her and his belief that they are married.

With this in mind, we will read all the poems of Catullus' corpus and discuss their significance not only as independent entities, but as products of late-Republican Rome; and we will read selections from the works of Catullus' contemporaries and from secondary works on the history and society of Catullus' day.
Each student will memorize one poem of Catullus of 8 or more lines and recite the poem to the instructor as part of her or his final exam.
