Poesie by CatullusMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Why is it that every time I read something in Latin I revert back to being a middle schooler? Well, aside from the fact that I was a middle schooler when I studied Latin. I find myself finding all the curse words and "fun" expressions and seeing how they were used in Latin. And Catullus provided plenty of material for that.
Regardless, I enjoyed this, although more the translation than anything. I probably enjoyed some of his shorter love poems to lesbia (which were apparently dedicated to Sappho) more than the longer epics he seems to be known for.
