Rating: 2.5 (2 reviews)
Author: Gaius Valerius Catullus

This edition presents the complete poem collection of Catullus (c. 84–54 B.C.E.), a poet of the late Roman Republic whose work ranges from ribald lyric to elegiac lament, often reflecting his complex relationships with friends, enemies, and the controversial Lesbia. Peter Green provides a bilingual presentation that aligns each translated verse with its Latin original, preserving the rhythmic character of the originals through stress‑equivalent metre. Supplementary material—a scholarly essay on Catullus’s life and milieu, extensive footnotes, a glossary, and a comprehensive bibliography—offers context and aids reader appreciation of the poet’s social and historical setting. The edition aims to make Catullus’s witty, intimate, and sometimes scandalous poetry accessible to a broad audience.
