Catull

Also known as Gaius Valerius Catullus, Caius Valerius Catullus

lyrischer lateinischer Dichter der Römischen Republik

AI overview

Catullus was a Roman poet from the late Republic whose surviving poems are still widely read today, partly because they're used in schools and partly because they deal with personal and sexual subjects. His work is considered important enough that readers continue to study and enjoy his poems more than two thousand years after he wrote them.

Gaius (oder Quintus) Valerius Catullus (deutsch Catull) war ein römischer Dichter des 1. Jahrhunderts v. Chr. Er stammte aus Verona. Catull gehörte zum Kreis der Neoteriker und orientierte sich wie diese vor allem an dem berühmten hellenistischen Dichter Kallimachos. Aber auch die griechische Dichterin Sappho hatte einen großen Einfluss auf ihn. Seine carmina (Gedichte) wurden unter anderem von Carl Orff (Catulli Carmina) vertont.
