| | | I've been raving to my friends about how wonderful Catullus' poetry is, and sending them here to read the translations, as they aren't Latin students. However, without the nerdy Latin education, they don't have the background on the people in the poems. Could you perhaps put an introduction or analysis of each piece with the translation, to give some background to non-students of Latin? We used Ronnie Ancona's Writing Passion as our class textbook, and between the footnotes and introduction, the background became clear, so perhaps you could do something similar? | |

| | Good day, Sunshine.
I'm working already on a list to put up defining technical terms, I suppose I can also write a bit on the biographies as well. I'll definitely look into it. Thanks for the suggestion.

| | I used Ancona's book when I was in college and now I teach in high school. Haven't been here in a while and just found this forum. Don't know how far you've gotten on it, but I certainly wouldn't mind helping with some analysis or introduction. I use different books with the high school kids, so there is an entirely different source of opinion and interpretation. Of course, I almost always defer to Ms. Ancona  Shoot me an e-mail cheetah_baby@hotmail.com if you'd like some assistance. | |  | | There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy. |

| | | After reading several poems by Gaius Valerius Catullus. There was this one question that always popped up in my head, does the poetry suggest a general and probable outline of his life? | |
