The Relevance of the Ancients: The Case of Catullus and His Poetry
[2023-03-08 22:09:51]
There used to be poetry a long time ago. Initially, in a literary society without a complex writing system in the literary era, poetry existed verbally and people used oral poems to record and tell the story of the next generation (Poetry.org.Website. 2005). Evidence indicates when a poem starts to exist. Although it is obvious that the early human had a sort of poetry. The writing system appears in complex societies such as Mesopotamia society, Egyptian society, Aegean society, as I have learned in class.
Gaius Valerius Catullus was born in Verker in 82 BC. In the meantime, most poets were asked to write epics from the aristocratic family. However, Catulus tends to write down personal personal events "against grain". As the style of poetry is new, Katulus is known as the modern poet (American Poetry Academy). Poetry 5, 8, and 72 are marked as Lesbian poetry and are said to be related to Catulth's married lover Claudia (Walker, Claudia). Therefore, these poems are considered autobiographical
In this case, it is called a story poem; the two important forms of narrative poetry are epic (common with ancient literature around the world) and folk songs. But more generally, poetry is not about telling stories, but about evoking emotions and images. All literary forms of poetry are usually most relevant to how the language works to achieve a particular effect, so freely use literary means such as rhyme, onomatopoeia, word game, metaphor please. Of course, these devices are also used in other literary forms, but they are most closely related to poetry in general.

When I was a Latin junior high school student, I remembered the poems of Catulthus and Horace. I thought that my students should remember something in Latin like myself, and I thought that if they like music, they think that young love songs Catullus 5 (vivamus me Lesbia atque I like this word which wrote a pop punk tune that fits amemus). As YouTube is the easiest way to share songs with them, one day after school I sing my songs in the classroom and playing the guitar, put it in the YouTube channel and link to the students of my eighth grade elementary school Sent. To our surprise, the video eventually appeared to many people. This is the one I recognize well, the only video in the comment that urged the marriage suggestion.
