Similar to Sappho, Catallus’ poems speak openly about sexuality. Some of his lyrics come across as very perverted and appalling almost when you figure out what he is trying to convey. He tends to include the names of individuals in his poems; whether they are enemies or good friends. The poems we’ve discussed in class seem to either praise his friends or highly humiliate his enemies.
