 Books about Catullus

Various bibliographies and literature reviews have attempted to systematically cover books, chapters, articles, dissertations, and other research about the Latin poet Gaius Valerius Catullus and his poetry. Catullus's works, comprising 113 poems, have been the subjects of many books and papers in classical studies and other fields, including literary criticism, gender studies, and cultural studies; there are many critical editions, commentaries, translations and student guides of his poetry as well. Even in 1890, Max Bonnet wrote that Catullus was "inundated" with academic publications concerning his life and works. More than two thousand publications about Catullus appeared between 1959 and 2003. Denis Feeney has described Catullus 68 alone as having "legions of critics", producing a "labyrinth" of literature.

Today's featured picture

Laocoön is an oil painting created between 1610 and 1614 by El Greco, a Greek painter of the Spanish Renaissance. The painting depicts the Greek and Roman mythological story of the deaths of Laocoön, a Trojan priest of Poseidon, and his two sons Antiphantes and Thymbraeus. Laocoön and his sons were strangled by sea serpents, a punishment sent by the gods after Laocoön attempted to warn his countrymen about the Trojan Horse. Although inspired by the recently discovered monumental Hellenistic sculpture Laocoön and His Sons in Rome, El Greco's Laocoön is a product of Mannerism, an artistic movement originating in Italy during the 16th century that countered the artistic ideals of the Renaissance. The painting is now in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.

Painting credit: El Greco
