Many aspects of the lyric poetry of Catullus and Horace are treated in this collection.

This volume is directed to scholars and students of Classics; scholars of the Latin equivalent genre, the ‘vocatio’, which persisted into the Renaissance, can also find in it an intellectual model.

Virgilian scholars and students of Augustan literature in general will find this book of interest to them.

This book will be of particular interest to students of Latin and Hellenistic Greek literature, and, as all Greek is translated, it should also be useful to students of comparative literature.
