LATIN 2203

Course information provided by the 2022-2023 Catalog.

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.
