Catullus Poems

The Catullus poems we read in class are basically about his love, desire, and passion for Lesbia. He thinks of Lesbia as the most beautiful woman alive and would do pretty much anything to get her. He is similar to Sappho in writing because they both write about love. They both openly talk about sexuality even though Catullus may tend to sound perverted sometimes. This might be due to the fact that he respected Sappho and admired her work. He also tended to sound homosexual in some of the poems.
Although he loves Lesbia, his feelings for her changes through out the poems from tender love poems to sadness, dissapiontment and bitter sarcasm.
I loved reading both Catullus and Sappho because they are both different from other literary pieces i have read.
