It is believed that he was born in Verona in 84 B.C. to a wealthy and well-connected family. Catullus' father was a friend of Julius Caesar. He died in Rome in 54 B.C. at the age of thirty. From his poems it is known that he went to Bithynia as an aide to the governor of that province in 57-56 B.C. We also know from Cicero that Catullus was one of the "neoteric" or new poets. Whereas the majority of poets in Rome at that time produced epic poems, often commissioned by aristocratic families, Catullus and other neoteric rejected the epic and its public themes. The neoteric poets used colloquial language to write about personal experience. Their poems are mostly smaller lyrics that are characterized by wit and erudition. Aside from these facts, what is known of the life of Catullus comes from the thoughts expressed in his poems. The knowledge of Catullus' poems comes from a single manuscript that survived the Dark Ages. This manuscript was discovered in Verona in around 1305 and disappeared again at the end of the century. Two copies of it, however, were made and one survives in the Bodleian Library in Oxford. The other copy, which was believed to be owned by Petrarch, was also lost. The surviving copy contains 116 poems in three sections: sixty shorter poems written mostly in Greek lyric meters, primarily hendecasyllabic or eleven-syllable lines; eight long poems; and a set of short epigrams.

Robert Frost Gaius Valerius Catullus Biography - Poems Gaius Valerius Catullus was born in 84 BCE. His life is little known, but many sources agree that he was born near Verona although the Palatine hill of Rome has been mentioned before. Catullus was the son of a leading family of Verona, but lived in Rome for most of his life. In 57 BCE he accompanied his friend, Memmius, to Bithynia where Memmius received the post of propraetor. And just one year later Catullus held a political office on the staff of the governor of Bithynia. Catullus' poetry was influenced mostly by the Greek neoteroi, especially that of Callimachus, who created a new style of poetry turning away from classical epic poetry in the tradition of Homer. The poetry instead focused on personal themes, although seeming quite superficial and the subject of everyday concerns. Catullus' works were handed down as an anthology of 116 carmina, which can be divided into three formal parts; 670 short poems in varying meters called polymetra, 8 longer poems and 48 epigrams.

Gaius Valerius Catullus Complete List of Catullus' Poems First Lines of Catullus' Poems The Social Set of Catullus: His Friends, Lovers, Rivals Catullus Links Short Curriculum Vitae Born in Verona (Gallia Cisalpina) around 82 B.C. Father was a friend of Julius Caesar's. Falls in love with Clodia, around 60 B.C. Brother dies at Troy. Joins the staff of Gaius Memmius, Governor of Bithynia, 57-56 B.C. No poems datable after 54 B.C., so he may have died sometime around then. Catullus the Roman (From the image collection of Barbara McManus at VRoma) Catullus was a member of the elite, and his family would naturally have cultivated a powerful man like Julius Caesar, who could have advanced their son's career. Catullus mocks the practive of "networking" in Poem 28 : "i, pete nobiles amicos (So much for running after powerful friends!)" And he never treated Caesar with much respect. Catullus did, however, humour his parent's ambitions by taking the standard first step towards a political career. He served for one year on a governor's staff. This satisfied the requirement that all politicians spend time in the army, it was a sort of "internship" in the administration of the empire, and it was a good way to make important connections. But after his year in Bithynia, Catullus pursued his career no further. His interests lay elsewhere. Friendship of Julius Caesar Caesar did not hide the fact that a permanent blot had been put on his name by the verses that Valerius Catullus had made about Mamurra. But when Catullus apologised, Caesar invited him to dinner that very day. And Caesar kept up his old friendship with Catullus' father.

Poetry of Catullus From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search The poetry of Gaius Valerius Catullus was written towards the end of the Roman Republic. It describes the lifestyle of the poet and his friends, as well as, most famously, his love for the woman he calls Lesbia. Contents Sources and organization Inspirations Influence Style ... edit Sources and organization Catullus's poems have been preserved in three manuscripts that were copied from one (of two) copies made from a lost manuscript discovered around 1300. These three surviving copies are stored at the National Library in Paris , the Bodleian Library at Oxford , and the Vatican Library in Rome. These manuscripts recorded Catullus's 116 carmina (three of which are now considered spurious — 18, 19 and 20 — although the numbering has been retained), which can be divided into three formal parts: sixty short poems in varying metres, called polymetra ; eight longer poems; and forty-eight epigrams There is no scholarly consensus on whether or not Catullus himself arranged the order of the poems. The longer poems differ from the polymetra and the epigrams not only in length but also in their subjects: there are seven hymns and one mini- epic , or epyllion, the most highly prized form for the "new poets" citation needed The polymetra and the epigrams can be divided into four major thematic groups (ignoring a rather large number of poems eluding such categorization): poems to and about his friends (e.g., an invitation like poem 13).

Orpheus Delahoyde CATULLUS Gaius Valerius Catullus was born in Verona about 84 b.c.e. and lived both there and in Rome until about 54 b.c.e. He joined the "Neoterics" in Rome a group of young "new poets" who focused their work on personal matters instead of Roman high seriousness and favored short, elegant poetry with sophisticated allusions. Catullus wrote poems on mythological themes (such as Poem 64 about Theseus, Ariadne, and Dionysus) and personal insults to contemporary figures, but he is better remembered for his Lesbia poems (so called because of Sappho's inspiration). These 25 poems were probably written to a woman named Clodia, some years older than the poet, who was technically married, among the arostocracy, and about whom rumors circulated that she had slept with her brother and poisoned her husband. The poems form a sort of "cycle," reflecting stages of the relationship from the idealism of love through times of jealousy, reconciliation, anger and finally contemptuous renunciation and resignation. Some smuttiness is also evident. Mostly fragments alone survived until about 1300 when a manuscript was discovered to contain well over 100 poems by Catullus.

We should let the poet speak for himself: XVI Pedicabo ego uos et irrumabo, Aureli pathice et cinaede Furi, qui me ex uersiculis meis putastis, quod sunt molliculi, parum pudicum. nam castum esse decet pium poetam ipsum, uersiculos nihil necesse est; qui tum denique habent salem ac leporem si sunt molliculi ac parum pudici et quod pruriat incitare possunt, non dico pueris sed his pilosis qui duros nequeunt mouere lumbos. uos, quod milia multa basiorum legistis, male me marem putatis? pedicabo ego uos et irrumabo.

18. Catullus Poem 42 A new look at catullus.32 and his dancing hendecasyllabic Elves. http://community.middlebury.edu/~harris/catullus.42.html

Catullus There is so much stuff on Catullus #42 on the web already, pitiful school translations and confused notions, all of which still don't ruin the wit of the poem everyone loves if only for the mock ire and the dirty words . With all this abroad I figured I just had to bring together some thoughts I have had in mind on this unusual poem. One afternoon it occurred to Catullus while drinking his Falernan copiously with friends and discussing Greek metrics with an offhand reference to the glyconic flavor, that the term "hendecasyllabi" was itself a trochaic phrase and could be used in a poem as it stands. To the inebriated surprise of his fellow drinkers, the little Elevens began to take on a life of their own, as he sicced them on the last night's light-fingered lady guest, and here was the gist of the poem already forming . . . . Attention, all you little polysyllabic Elevens, you elves all together from here and there, that horrid hooker thinks that I am a joke, she won't give back my little notepad of poems, if you can imagine that. The nasty nerve of it.
