"Peter Green is an outstanding translator. The reader's excited anticipation of pleasure and instruction on receiving a new translation of a Latin poet by Green is not disappointed. This is a labor of love which makes Catullus accessible to the Latinless reader and more familiar to those who can read Latin."Susan Treggiari, Stanford University"For almost half a century Peter Green has been one of the finest of all modern translators of classical verse. His Catullus is well up to his usual formrecapturing for a contemporary audience the wit, malice, erudition and erotic charm of the Latin original."Mary Beard, author of The Parthenon
