DESCRIPTION:
Catullus for the modern age The translation was excellent and enlightening to a latin scholar from decades ago. However, the print size used was so small that those decades made it frustratingly difficult to read.. "indispensable" according to gaetano catelli. i am currently translating the extant works of Catullus, in aid of which i have 6 different translations. Peter Green's is the one that is indispensable, as well as the most pleasurable to read for its own sake.for example, on the page facing his translation is the Latin text, a sine qua non for appreciating Catullus's brilliance.there is also a glossary that explains the significance of each proper name to the poem in which it appears. and, most helpfully, there are notes to each poem that summarize not only Green's wise interpretation, but various view. The Poems of Catullus: very useful adjunct to the AP Latin Lit classroom I have enjoyed sharing the translation of Cat. 63 with my AP students, and the complete text of Cat. 6The Poems of Catullus: very useful adjunct to the AP Latin Lit classroom Suzanne Nussbaum I have enjoyed sharing the translation of Cat. 63 with my AP students, and the complete text of Cat. 64 (after they read the Ariadne episode in Latin). It's very easy to glance across the page at the Latin and get at least some sense of it; since what we're reading in translation is in addition to the AP syllabus, this seems appropriate. The translator's notes on 63 and 64 are also worth reading, in my opinion. Using this book has allowed me a better way to make my students at least somewhat familiar with the long poems of Catullus..
