Of all the great Latin poets, Catullus is perhaps the most acessible, as Ewan Whyte shows us with his brilliant new translation. Once reserved for 'dirty- minded'scholars and students, the earthy poetry of Catullus - sometimes bawdy and base, sometimes elegant, and never boring - gets the star treatment in this bilingual Latin/English edition.The increasing global popularity of Latin and Latin Studies mean that the time has come for a new generation to be introduced to this most fascinating and fun of great Latin writers.

Lackluster and not complete,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Catullus - Bilingual Latin/English Edition (Paperback)
I clearly didn't look as hard as I thought I did for a good edition of Catullus- this one leaves out a lot of poems, including every single Juventius poem- he's not even in the index! There are no notes on the translation, though the quality seems decent.I was disappointed.
