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.

This is a novel masquerading as a history book. It tries so hard to figure out what Catullus was thinking and feeling, but in the driest possible way. I'd read a novelisation of Catullus' life, on the evidence here; I'd definitely read literary criticism of his work. But this isn't quite either of those -- but nor is it rigorous history.

I am half thinking of dropping this. It feels like... like the author wanted to novelise Catullus' life, but couldn't make it interesting enough.

Finally finished!
I enjoyed this collection of Roman poetry, it's not the usual epic poetry I'm more familiar with. An excellent collection.

It has been a very long time since I last read outside of a readathon, so I thought I would do some light reading to get back into it.

Sophoclessweetheart @River_Voice You‘re familiar? That‘s amazing. 👏🖤 6y
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
Sophoclessweetheart @River_Voice Thank you so much dear 🙏🖤 6y
