Description
Catullus lived in a time of great political and social upheaval. The Roman Republic was in decline, and the city of Rome was rife with corruption and violence. Catullus’s poetry reflects the chaos and uncertainty of his times. His poems are full of anger, passion, and despair. But they are also full of beauty, wit, and humor.
Catullus is best known for his love poems, which are addressed to a woman he calls Lesbia. These poems are full of passion and intensity. They celebrate the joys of love, but they also explore the pain of heartbreak and betrayal.
But Catullus was also a brilliant satirist and a keen observer of Roman society. His short poems often skewer the powerful and the corrupt. He uses irony and wit to expose the hypocrisy and greed of his contemporaries.
