Genres of Roman Poetry - Answers 1. Poetry (in verse) 2. Prose (not in verse)
Catullus - Answers Poet born outside of Rome into rich Italian family, came to Rome and got involved
with Clodia, sister of Clodius, who was already married, poetry reflects ups and downs of their
relationship including when he was jealous of her canary and when he called her a prostitute. Her
persona was Lesbia. He wrote purely about love in lyrical poetry even though he wrote at the same time
as Cicero who focused on Roman politics and society. Died young, believed to have been from a broken
heart after his ultimate break-up with Clodia.
Horace - Answers -At school in Athens when Brutus' liberators killed Caesar and campaigned to 'save'
the Republic. Horace drooped out of school to join the Liberators who were soon defeated by Octavian.
Octavian gained control of Horace's land when his father died, and as a result Horace was forced to
work as a clerk in Rome. His writings took a bitter twist as he wrote cynically about his life. Maecenas, a
chief follower of Augustus took an interest in Horace's writings and created an amicita relationship with
him. He gave Horus a farm in Sabine to write for him. However, Horus was forced to write things
Maecenas liked, mostly praise for Augustus. He also wrote about his farm.
