Abstract: |
Catullus, a leading figure in the group of Roman "neoterics," played a pivotal role in transplanting Hellenistic aesthetics from Alexandria to Rome. Ancient critics often included him among the Roman elegists. His poems numbered 68 and 76 could be considered early manifestations of Roman elegy, though their experimental nature remains quite pronounced. These two poems are briefly presented to illustrate Catullus's contribution to the genesis and evolution of Roman elegy. This chapter also examines the only surviving fragment from the work of Cornelius Gallus, the first Roman elegiac poet chronologically. The examination includes: Introduction, Text, Vocabulary, Translation, Commentary.
