LATIN 2203

Catullus

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2024-2025.

The hundred or so carmina we have of Catullus (c. 87 – c. 57 BC) continue to influence poets and critics today. Their timelessness makes us forget that they were composed in time, a greater understanding of which helps us to understand what makes them timeless. By engaging Catullus' poems actively in the original Latin, we will appreciate their historical, cultural, and poetical context and the impact it has had on their enduring appeal.
