23. Catullus, Tibullus, Propertius (1502/3).
These three first century B.C. poets, like Ovid, were very popular in the Renaissance, and have always been grouped together since the 1472 first edition of Wendelin of Speyer. The manuscript tradition of all three is poor, and Catullus had only recently been rediscovered (in 1375) in a single corrupt manuscript which has since perished. The loss of this manuscript makes the early printed editions all the more valuable. Aldus's edition was edited by Girolamo Avanzi, a young scholar who had made a name for himself in Catullus studies. The edition was far superior to its predecessors, and this together with its unusually large press run of three thousand copies ensured its influence on the text of Catullus for many years.

Poem 29
Who can see this? Who can endure it,
Mamurra [ FN 1 ] holding in his possession all the sleek wealth that Gallia Comata [ FN 2
used to have, and that of furthest Britain?
Pathic Romulus, will you see this and endure it? 5
And now will that fellow do the rounds of all
the bedrooms, proud and prodigal,
like a white little dove or an Adonis? Pathic Romulus, will you see this and endure it? You're depraved, a glutton, and a gambler. 10 Was it for this, o sole commander, that you busied yourself on the farthest island of the setting sun, that this fucked-out prick of yours might devour twenty or thirty million sesterces? What is misguided generosity but this? 15 Had he plowed through too few fortunes? Not gobbled down enough?

Catullus: Tuffy the Tugboat meets the Brave Little Toaster
by Ruth Breindel, Moses Brown School Catullus is one of my favorite poets: he's alive and lively, and can be discussed on so many levels and in so many ways. After reading Poem 4, one of my students said it reminded her of Tuffy the Tugboat . It always reminded me of the Brave Little Toaster . Great works of literature are always popping up in my classroom. Catullus can be approached through many media: song, dance, art projects, videos and even games. The students in my 1998-99 Latin Literature class did several of these presentations. Looking at Catullus in these ways gave both me and my students a fresh outlook on the ancient world. We all gained in understanding both of Catullus and of our own society. The following is a discussion of the best examples:

Gaius Valerius Catullus About Me Send a Reaction Introduction on Catullus taken with kind permission of Ken Hope The poems of Catullus might have suffered the same fate as those of Archilochos and Sappho but for a single manuscript which made its way to Verona, the poet's home town, early in the 14th century. Since Catullus is generally thought to have lived between 84 and 54 B. C. E., this manuscript was a copy of a copy of a copy... going back for some 1400 yearsthough nothing is known about those earlier manuscripts. In fact, the text of Catullus that we use today, while it derives ultimately from this single manuscript, is based on copies, and on copies of copies, of that one, since the manuscript itself is long gone. If Archilochos is the first lyric poet in the West, the poet who invented the "I," as it were, Catullus is the first poet we know enough about to construct a sense of who he is from the poems themselves. In fact, everything we know about him is created in his poems. Without them we know next to nothing. The character that emerges in these poems is lively, dynamic, engaging. If it is not Catullus whom we come to know, yet we do feel we come to know someone with a personality, whom we may as well call Catullus, since that is how he is called in the poems. Certainly there are inconsistencies of character, but these seem to be are part of the poet's basic material: "odi et amo," he says, "I love and hate." He is not saying that he swerves from one passion to the next, but rather that conflicting emotions dwell within him at the same time, and these help as well as anything else to define who he is.

zou jij, Flavius, honderduit vertellen
en niet tegen Catullus kunnen zwijgen.
Jij geilt zeker op een of ander hitsig
Jij brengt niet als een weduwnaar de nacht door:
dat verraadt je vergeefs verstilde bedje,
dat naar Syrische olie geurt en bloemen;
je matras en je kussens zijn versleten,
links en rechts, en het kraken en verschuiven
van je beverig bedje wijst op bonken.
Niets, nee niets kan je wangedrag verzwijgen. Jij had niet van die afgeneukte heupen als je niet met een liefje aan de rol was.

THE LOVE POEMS
These two lovely little "Sparrow Poems" combine a vignette of a lady playing with her pet bird, combined with the poet's envy of the pet and his covert desire to be there in her lap instead. Sir Paul Harvey maintained that "it was probably not the sparrow but the blue thrush often seen at the present day in Italian bird cages". In any case it is a singing bird (pipiabat), and a delicate little poem to suit, much admired and imitated for the last five centuries. Passer, deliciae meae puellae,
quicum ludere, quem in sinu tenere,
cui primum digitum dare appetenti
et acris solet incitare morsus,
cum desiderio meo nitenti
carum nescio quid lubet iocari
et solaciolum sui doloris,
credo ut tum grauis acquiescat ardor:
tecum ludere sicut ipsa possem
et tristis animi leuare curas! 2 b This is an odd fragment, apparently the poet is thinking of the foot race of Atalanta and the apples given by Aphrodite to Milanion. One of the MSS has a marginal note "erat: negatam", perhaps thought of an earlier reading changed, but meaning is the same. It must be just the thought of undressing a woman that is pleasing Catullus so greatly! Tam gratum est mihi quam ferunt puellae
pernici aureolum fuisse malum

catullus is certainly the most readable Roman poet, with constant oscillationbetween love, hate and obscenity. GAIUS VALERIUS catullus.
http://community.middlebury.edu/~harris/LatinAuthors/Catullus.html
GAIUS VALERIUS CATULLUS
Gaius Valerius Catullus (84BC?- 54BC) lived in almost the same years at Lucretius, but everything about him and his history is of an entirely different cast. Coming from a middle-class family from Verona in the north of Italy, he went early to Rome with the same enthusiasm with which everybody of importance in 20th c. American literature went first to New York and then to Paris. The varied life of The City (the Urbs as Rome was called informally) suited his volatile nature, and gave him the city sharpness of wit we see in his slim volume of poetry. We know much about his life, his connections with Caesar, Cicero, and above all Clodia, whom he styles Lesbia in his verse for her literary rather than lesbian interests. Dying about his thirty third year, he left a small volume which prints up now in less than eighty pages of text. But into this small compass he injects love, hate, sneers at the rich and noble, as well as poems of the utmost tenderness, delicacy and madness. Coming from an upper-class background, versed in city ways and interested in what the new Alexandrian poets in Egypt were doing in Greek verse, Catullus is aware of everything, vitally involved in everything, a young man plunging headlong into "life" on every level. Involved with Clodia, his great but clearly disappointing love, he goes in with tenderness, struggles with anger and bitter reproaches, and ends with a sad sense of resigned malaise. He dies young, it is hard to think of this flashing phenomenon of Roman literary brilliance living to grow old. The only complaint we can have about Catullus' writing is that there is so little of it, but even so Catullus is a major figure in literature, his fire and romantic sense of involvement is rare overall, and unique in the annals of Roman writing.

Catullus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Gaius Valerius Catullus (c. 84 B.C. - c. 54 B.C. ) was one of the most influential Roman poets of the first century B.C. Of Catullus' life little is known for sure. He was born on the Palatine hill of Rome . He was an offspring of a leading family from Verona , but lived in Rome most of his life. In 57 B.C., he accompanied his friend Memmius to Bithynia , where Memmius had received a propraetor's post. Catullus himself, however, never held a political office. His poetry was greatly influenced by the Greek neoteroi , especially by Callimachus , who propagated a new style of poetry, deliberately turning away from the classical epic poetry in the tradition of Homer . Their poems no longer described the feats of ancient heroes and gods but concentrated on small-scale personal themes. Although these poems sometimes seem quite superficial and their subject often are mere everyday concerns, they nevertheless are accomplished works of art. The work of Catullus was handed down as an anthology of 116 carmina (presumably not arranged by the author), which can be divided into three formal parts: 60 short poems in varying metres, called
